2. You must hold a valid PPL and have acquired a total time of not less than 50hrs and not more than 70hrs.
Are we talking P1 time here or total time? Most people pass the PPL skills test with 55 - 65 hours. With a bit of post PPL flying most people are going to be over 70 hours total logbook time.

Seems a bit of a tight hours bandwith considering the long winding road ahead that is ATPL - saving a candidate 1900 quid is very nice, but when he/she is already looking at another 30 or 40k im not sure that its going to get everyone reaching for their biro`s...

The Bristol modular course looks very good, but its the smallest part of the financial minefield a wannabe ATPL is going to face, granted cant do the CPL without them, but the course fee is less than a fifth of an IR - Now that would be a prize.......
