The problem with flight training is that you have to stay current. Gaining the licence is only the first expense. I first gained a licence (fixed wing) some years ago, but allowed it to lapse through disuse. However, in 2001 I decided to give it another go, and returned to training. I had half a mind to gain my instructor's rating, and change my career. Many more hours were spent in the air (and the classroom) and eventually I gained my PPL - again! However (for various reasons) I came to the conclusion that a career in aviation wasn't really for me. What's it cost me in total? Don't even ask!! Best be sure you want to do this before commiting to it. Long-term, it'll cost you loooadsamoney! Steve |
