You should mention where you are in the country, I’ve not taken a student flying for ages!
(I’ve been too busy taking all my friends and their children flying)
I have one student to take flying in the near future, we are trying to fix a date.
2 forum members took me flying when I was learning.. one took me to a student fly in, organised here, in exchange for lunch.
We flew from the east coast to the midlands and back!
You’ll need to start considering where to learn, and then you need to buy a log book and try some trial lessons.
ALL flying then goes in your logbook from day 1, it all counts.

You don't actually need a medical till it is time to go solo, but that is a really bad time to discover you have a medical issue preventing you progressing.

Where can the ppl lead?
Would 2 lessons a month be ok or should I wait until I could do more?]
