is more. This flight will count towards your 45 hours
training. You will be manipulating the controls and
may ask as many questions as you like. Afterwards you
can enjoy a cup of coffee with me and I will show you our
lecturing facilities etc, then you can make your booking for
your first lesson!

as far as your finances suit you. Nevertheless, try to
fly at least three times a month for training continuity.

aircraft will I train on

in the world at a later stage you will convert onto a larger

period is between 6 to 18 weeks
