If what you say is correct I can see some issues on the horizon for some!

No proof needed if the instructor does not have the CPL theory and is therefore restricted to LAPL!

There is an N Reg Arrow being rented out at Glasgow.

Maybe not the best option for easy, perfect weather hour building.

BUT, you will get some great experience and a good preparation for further training.

And it can be done quite cheaply!
