Hi everybody,
I'm completely new to the world of aviation. I've got my trial lesson booked but it's been moved a few times due to weather so I figure I would ask some questions here if that's possible!
My first one is I'm unsure of the ppl or lapl route. I'm leaning more towards the lapl right now and if needed do a conversion. In regards to the medical, I think I could pass a ppl class 2, but I'm a bit overweight so not sure. If I converted, would I have to retake the medical? And can a ppl class 2 cover me for my lapl medical?
My second question is airports/instructors. I live fairly near to Duxford, elsetree, north Weald, and Cranfield. Is there any one school or location to fly from that is recommended? I assume it's more based off of how you get along with the instructor?
I'm committed to the training. Lord knows I need a hobby. Is there anything else that may be good to know?
Thank you all for your time!
