CPL vs ATPL ground exams
Hi,
I'm looking for people's thoughts on taking the CPL exams as opposed to the full ATPL exams. I am intending to be in full-time non-flying employment for another 11 years (military if you wondered) but want to get my CPL + FI and instruct part-time over that time. I might then try to instruct full-time or move onto air taxi type work etc.. if possible. As such, I cannot see myself getting the fATPL in that time, so my ATPL exams would be wasted?
However, I can see that not many schools offer the CPL course, so would it be better to go for a reputed ATPL course anyway, despite the extra hassle/cost?
If only the BCPL was in existence still I might have gone for that!
Any thoughts would be gratefully read.
Cheers,
Blagger
