I’m almost 17 years old and am about to start LAPL training. I understand the LAPL vs PPL argmuent but I simply can’t afford a PPL at the moment. It struck me as to how I could afford to keep up my license and use it (without just renting hourly from a school). Does anyone have experience with ultra low cost flying?
I’m thinking that I should just wait to get lucky and find a super cheap share in a plane (microlight probably for my budget). My budget is really no more than £1500 for the initial purchase with no more than £50 per hour wet. Is this budget unrealistic and is this the best route to go down or are there any better ones?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated - thanks!
