PPL - work experience.
 
Hi

I am currently training for a PPL at Shoreham Airport, with around 15 hours flying time. My ambition is to further my flight training after my PPL and currently I am self-funding my flights.

Having always had an interest in the aviation world, I would love to have some extra work experience within it.

My question is -

-Does anybody have any advice/ ideas of suitable job roles for a person in my position?

-Similar experiences of other PPL students working in aviation?



I am looking for part, full time or even volunteer work.

Any information, big or small would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I think whatever other qualifications you have may be relevant to the question.

I know it's a bit of a late reply, but i'm also a PPL student in Manchester and I have had work ex at Barton FIS... Any air traffic related job would be good for you to see what happens on the other side of the radio so you understand it all.
