Hello all,
New here and was just reading some topics and a couple other websites and it got me thinking. Im just trying to decide where to do my training for PPL, and so Im rather clueless.

My main goal is going to be to just go for my PPL, obtain my own aircraft, and have it for personal use. It would be getting used quite a bit, as I travel a LOT, for hunting, fishing, and work.

Probably going to be something small that I buy, is IFR really necessary? Is it something that I would use in a small Cessna? Or is it made more for larger planes flying higher altitudes?

School me on this please!
Thanks in advance
