Hello all,
I am at the PPL stage and was wondering where do you get the aircraft class ratings? I have heard some people paying for it themselves (how do you know with class rating to get? Where do you go for one?) and some airline paying for the pilots (which ones still do that? And what's the trade off apart from the usual; work for them for xx years?). It would be nice if I can have some advice for the future, that would be great.
Medical Class 1 initial @ Gatwick (Done: I am not defective :} )
PPL (I'm here, any thoughts on this school: Private Pilot licence | Leicester Aero Club (http://www.leicesterairport.com/flying-leicestershire/learn-to-fly/private-pilot-licence-ppl/) ? Should I pay all up front? They been around from 1909 but I am not holding my breath after seeing companies falling like dominoes in the last few years.)
ATPL ground exams @ BGS or CAPT + building to 150hrs (Any restriction on the plane that I need to be PIC of for the 150hrs?)
Instrumental rating (Got any good advice for a school that does this? I can't seems to find on in Leicestershire. :confused:) + Night Course (http://www.leicesterairport.com/flying-leicestershire/learn-to-fly/night-course/) (Is this compulsory?)
Did I missed anything on the above list? I am in the UK and prefers to train around Leicestershire, but can be anyway in UK. Rest of the world might take some convincing. I am 22 years old if that helps.
