The added benefit of having over 100 hours plays in my favour too and with the ATPLs out of the way the conversion is a lot easier.
My very original plan was to do the PPL & the IR but I can't get that much time off work unfortunately. Maybe returning to do the IR is a good idea and subsequently build up hours too? Haven't given it too much thought, but going back to the USA to build up hours especially with having a FAA license will be really easy and I havent got to go through all the Visa debacle again.
I start with BGS for ATPLs fully as of tomorrow (gave myself a month off
.. was needed)
yes deffo go back and do the hours!! and get the IR too when you have time!! a good place to build the time is at flight time building out of X50, you wont find cheaper rates!!
