Advice on online PPL
Hi everyone,
I would really appreciate some advice on how to continue my PPL.
I signed up for a distance theory course via CATS. The club I joined is having a hard time and hasn't been very cooperative, hasn't followed up with me, and I'm having troubles starting my flight hours. As a result I'm thinking of leaving it and re-enrolling in a new course. I finished the theoretical part and by doing the various tests on the platform and on the app (I use Aviation Exam) I see that I pass them quite easily; nevertheless, having studied everything independently and never having had a real discussion with someone with whom I could delve deeper or ask questions, I still feel very insecure.
The most plausible choices for me now are these:
- Sign up for a new PPL course with live theory. (17k)
- Sign up for a new course that also has online theory, again on CATS, finish it in a relatively short time (having already done it), and finally start doing some flying hours. (11k)
Clearly I like the second idea better because it's cheaper and I would finally start flying, but I can't help but think that doing the theory again in person, with someone I could discuss with is the best choice.In your experience, how important is this factor? Are these insecurities that will go away anyway when I do the flying hours? Thanks in advance.
