Hello all. Having spent a good time reading through this very useful forum I’ve done some research and put together a plan. However I’d appreciate any advice on this and if I’m way out…
PPL - 45hrs, £7k.
(Over next 18mths fly x4/mth while doing ATPL)
ATPLs - £3k.
Night rating - 5hrs @£195 instructed, £1k.
UPTR - 5hrs, £1.4k.
IR(r) - 15hrs @£195, £3.5k.
Fly solo IFR - 15hrs @£160, £2.4k
SEIR ‘top up’ course - 10hrs @£225 instructed £2.3k. (I now have SEIR)
(18mths later total 65hrs over weekends (£4k) & total 160hrs flight time)
MEP - 6hrs @£500, £3.5k.
MEIR ‘top-up’ course - 5hrs @£500, £2.5k. (MEIR now achieved).
Solo hour build - 24hrs @£160, £4k. (Now at 195hrs).
CPL - 25hrs @£225 instructed, £8k.
APSMCC - £5k.
A grand total of 220 hrs & £47,600.
To clarify the PPL is only £7k due to scholarships. My club has cheap rental of £160 solo hire and £195 with instructor. £225/hr is with another school as my club doesn’t offer some ratings. The numbers might be a bit out due to rounding.
To get a MEIR, am I correct in thinking that I can get an IR(r) doing 15hrs instructed. Then fly solo 15hrs under IFR and then doing 10hrs instructed training to get a full SEIR? After this, doing a MEP (6hrs) and then doing a 5hrs ‘top up’ course instructed to convert SEIR to MEIR?
Thanks in advance to any responses.
