Guys, having taken 5 PPL exams and wanting to start PPL training in order to have the lovely PPL booklet in my hand by February, I have come to a really confusing T junction. I can either go off to stapleford and cross my fingers, legs and my two testicles to be done by february flying 3 days a week :} or I can go to the states somewhere like OBA and get it done in 3 weeks.
It's more than natural to take the latter route how ever I am equally worried by the instruction I recieve and the ability to fly within the UK airspace once back from there.
My question is:
1. Will I really be able to finish the PPL within 3 weeks as I will be taking time off fom work and will need to provide notice.
2. Seriously, how good is the instruction at say somewhere like OBA? Is it as good as UK flight schools?
3. Will I really be Competent enough to fly within UK airspace?
This is a really important decision for me as I am looking into starting ATPL's in march and would like my basic training to be thorough with a good foundation.
