This is now my private website and all my business interests are at Armstrong Brooks Group
I do NOT own a plane and I do NOT have a private Pilot's Licence (PPL) but I have had numerous meetings with people who own them, fly them and maintain them. Not to mention hundreds of hours spent reading relevant books, forums and magazines.
I have also flown in a few small planes and helicopters as a passenger.
I have done my best but a lot of these numbers are plain WRONG. This is because much of the data online is totally contradictory. But, hopefully, it will give you an idea and you can then do your own research. By all means write to me and let me know where you think I am wrong.
