Just after people's thoughts on the ups and downs of staying current on two types.
I came back to flying last year so think of myself as a new, low-houred PPL and very much am in terms of both competence and confidence. I have been flying a Robin HR200 and really enjoy it, the only thing is, being a bigger chap, I have to make a choice between a decent amount of fuel or a taking a passenger and I like flying with others. I could also fly a C172 at a different airfield and that would give me the chance to take other people with me.
I like both airfields and both clubs but the C172 is a bit dearer and a bit further away from me. I also don't particularly want to give up flying the Robin. On average I fly just a couple of times a month, occasionally a bit more.
So, I guess my question is, should I make my mind up and stick to one type or alternate between the two?
