hourbuilding
 
Hello!!
Does anyone have any good ideas on places to go for hourbuilding?
I recently finished ppl, and will want to do commercial. I cant afford to take time off from work to go to usa, but I am also on a budget
Thanks

The cheapest place I know is Old Sarum Flying Club in Salisbury using there frequent flyer rates (blocks of 10 hours).

http://www.oldsarumflyingclub.co.uk/

But may not be convenient for you. Suggest you try a local flying club instead of just FTO's

Good luck :)

Thanks, just had a look at their website, do you know if the frequent flyer rates include fuel and VAT? Cheers

Dude, paying 73£ an hour on lil' Cessna 152... :ugh:

If I were you I would take my yearly leave t the USA... Depending on how many hours you need to build, it may save you a month's pay...

You might be right in the summer but just how deep is the drifting snow at your place at the moment?

Nichibei Aviation 23rd Jan 2008 22:35

No snow at the moment in Wadsworth but there has been a hell of alot a few weeks back.

That's also why we onyl fly between March and November ;-)

You must be crazy to take your annual leave in the winter ;-)

Have you also been blocked a week for unrighty advertising?

As far as I know the price is all inclusive.
In my area they have a very good reputation as a high quality operation.
I would give them a call first to sound them out
Good Luck
Fran :)
