I Need Summer Night flying!

Hi folks,

I need to do approx 20hrs of night P1 time ASAP.

UK, preferably Midlands, but able to travel if needs be.

Any ideas? (Not really keen on spending £120 an hour at Coventry!)

Brgds,
GA

Unfortunately you may be stuck - not many other airfields are H24 in the midlands.

Try different schools at CVT - there maybe some cheaper ones.

20 hrs @ GBP 120 = GBP 2400 = USD 4800

Need I say more ???

I was in the same dilemma some years ago. Go to the States and do it there. It'll cost a fortune in the UK, as not only is it more expensive to fly, but some UK airports charge extra for 'out of hours' movements & lighting etc.

= 40 hours of flying in something decent (172SP), 30hrs in something "glass", or 60 in an old 152 ;)

(minus flights and accomodation of course ;))

Coventry operates 24/7 and the Coventry Aeroplane Club can sort you out if you are happy to fly newish Warriors. See Index.

Leicester and Wellesbourne do night flying on certain nights.

All times are GMT. The time now is 08:35.
