My grief is beyond words. My thoughts and prayers are with the families. Both were outstanding men and will never be forgotten. EI-CHM was my favourite plane in the world having completed my first lesson and first solo in it. I will miss it considerably but it is nothing compared to the pain of not ...

if your doing your flight test then use the figures in the POH this will show the examiner that you know what fuel the aircraft will use and you know were to find it. Would agree 100% with that but on my flight test the examiner absolutely hammered me and would have preferred if i had used more 're...

Yeah, definitley agree with Andymax......If possible finish your PPL in Australia, its alot cheaper and less hassle than finishing the other half over here.....I envy you

Can someone tell me for definite whether or not you have to be a 'UK citizen' to enter the scholarship?

Thats sounds like Alphalaura's dream job......wudnt say no to it meself

Its safe to say that the information on some 'career' sites about how to become a pilot are gravely wrong and lack research.

Anyway long story short there is no minimum hours requirment to join a school...

The only reason it isnt open before 8am is because the neighbours would be going made if u had circuits at 6.30 or 7am!

Yeah, no prob. I definetly think you'd be better joining a group because its ALOT handier and cheaper in the long run.

The places nearest weston would be Trim to the North-west or Kilrush to the South-west.......The latter would be preferable and is a lovely and friendly facility, slightly longer drive possibly but worth it. I dont know if kilrush is taking more base aircraft....i dont have a contact number handy......
