Sounds like you are learning at more or less the rate i will be.
Well i decided the best way to do this is to take a trial flight. I am thinking of ravenair over Liverpool Flying School because they seem to be more organised and positive.
From the conversations ive had, LFS were very negative about spreading lessons out, Ravenair were more like “It will take longer but thats ok”. Also i checked weight limits, i am 16st (0.5 st lighter than this time last week! and dropping lol) LFS were like “ooh thats about the limit, we have had ppl of 16st, but it depends if you will fit in the plane” I am actually not that big for 16st and have fit in a vigilant so i think the PA38 will be no prob, i called ravenair and they said that it would be fine. When LFS answer the phone they always sound rushed and a bit disorganised altough they always know what i ask them. Ravenair dont always know but there is always the info to hand or an instructor nearbye to ask.
Also for anyone who is interested LFS use Trevor Thom and Ravenair reccomend AFE(i think thats it) but say its up to students disgression.
The only thing is, i asked LFS for an hour price and they said 111 including landing fee, with Ravenair it was nearer 115 but they also mentioned prices for touch and go´s or circuits. When i am practicing circuits will that be expencive?
