- I don't have prices for examiner, I'll edit this when they get back to me.

UPRT:

Hour building:
- I'll need approximately 100 hours to reach the 175 hour minimum to start CPL
- Potentially I could do this in the US, I've seen on forums here that it can be cheaper due to the better weather.
- Found a site which hires for $120/hour
- Total cost for building $120 x 100 hours = $12,000 (at time of writing approximately £9,600)
- Excl license conversion etc for US
Hour building, Cost: £9,600 Duration: (I'm not sure how many hours I can fly per day, I'll say 2 months?)

MCC:

MCC: £6,000, Duration: 3 weeks
Total Cost: £54,040, Duration: under a year hopefully, plus some examiner fees, CRP5, protractor, headset. MEP and CBIR pre-CPL to save a bit of money building hours.
1) A 1 month PPL isn't feasible in the UK - due to weather. Triple that if you're lucky. Get an FAA private if you want to do it quickly.
2) You cannot do MEP directly after PPL, you'll need at least 70 hours PIC
3) The whole point of CBIR is to do it single engine to save money.
4) Your hour building will need to be spilt into at least 3 blocks between modules
5) A single engine CPL should be half what you're quoted.
A good first effort but that's nowhere near optimum. Which is strange because I'm pretty sure I told you in post #2 of your other thread where to look!
