It might also open up FI opportunities in the future.
You should certainly give it a shot. Get a Class 1 medical and a PPL then you can start on the ATPL study and the rest will fall into place.
Just replying to your answer here from earlier in the year as I wanted to run this email past you that I've received from a flight school I'm looking at. It was im reference to asking them about following a modular route. Can you tell me if you think the numbers add up? Their fully intergrated course is around €62k."Once you obtain your PPL (with Night Rating), you can follow the following modular pathway:
- Build-up Hours
If you already have 50 hours of total flight experience, you will need approximately 110 additional hours (to meet the minimum requirements for the CPL).
Cost: 110 hours x €240 = €26,400
- ATP Modular Theory (Distance Learning)
Cost: €3,000
- CPL/IR/MEP Modular
Cost: €26,000
- MCC or APS MCC
- Standard MCC: €3,000
- APS MCC: €6,000
In total, if you already have a PPL with approximately 50 flight hours, the estimated total cost to complete modular training up to ATPL is
€58,000 – €61,000."
