Looks like Flightwise for me too but I still have to talk to Skytrace.

Would agree with Microheavy about club flying but I think that in Dublin at least you're better off getting the PPL with a school first.

Thanks Laura, thats very helpful.

I suppose it doesn't sound that bad but ya know yourself, I won't relax till it's over !

Hi folks, New to this place and find it very interesting and useful. I'm a newbie student and I'm about to go for my initial Class 2 medical.
