If your nearest flying school is less than a 10 minute bike ride away, then this would be your best option.
I once did 90 minutes Touch and Goes in the morning, went home and had lunch, then had a telephone call from my instructor saying there was another 90min slot in the afternoon if I would like to do some navigation exercises.... I got back to the airfield in less than 15 minutes..!


In Britain the number of flyable days is often limited by the weather, so any chance of a flight is a bonus. For our training purposes, visibility needs to be more than 5km, wind less than 10 kts and down the runway, and no possibility of rain or squalls. Also Cloud-base over 1800ft agl.
