I'm in a similar situation to the OP, although a lot earlier on in my journey so hopefully some info can help me avoid the roadblocks on down the line!
I'm about to start flying lessons with my local club (CAA) to begin working towards a PPL. Ultimately I want to follow the modular route to end up with an EASA ATPL license.
So my question is - can I begin training with my local club (really its my only chance of flying in the next number of months) and then transfer the hours over to IAA and complete the theory exams and skills test there?
Or am I better completing the full CAA PPL with my local club first and then look to transfer it across to EASA?
Thanks in advance for any advice, and apologies I'm sure this has been answered before but I'm quite new to this!
