Default Lesson #2...

Hi,

They instruct, regardless......


Yeah, I know. I like the idea of a 'small' school. I'm the kind of person
that likes to really immerse themselves in the whole atmosphere when I
decide to do something.

Also (obviously) I liked the idea of saving 50% of the cost of most flying
schools!

I reckon it's gonna cost me an extra £2000 or so to go to this new school
(their rates are £43 an hour more, but the also charge Brakes on to Brakes
off rather than tacho), but if I don't then it's easily going to be the
middle of next year before I get towards the end of my PPL. When I first
started I had dreams of finishing by now!

Was supposed to have a lesson with the new school yesterday, but got
weathered off, so now trying to do it next Saturday. They're also about to
upgrade their fleet to Diamon DA40s, which looks like a nice plane!

Default Lesson #2...

Hi Andy,

Good luck with the weather, mate! :-))

Are the Diamonds more expensive to rent than the Cessnas?

Regards,
John Ward

Hmm, failed to fly on Sunday because of it!

I've currently been learning in a Warrior (PA-28-161). The new school has
Cherokee 180s, and the new Diamonds are coming on stream soon. They're about
UKP 7 more expensive an hour.
