Hi An Lone

Like Thirty 06 I started at 35 and qualified at 37. Well worth it, especially when you ve done your first cross country qualifier. However you need to be reasonably technically minded for all the exams and try to make sure you have continuity of instruction. At my club they were merely buying time and accumilating hours then off to the airlines to a job.This meant that my first instructor whom was a brilliant left and I was assigned someone else whom want as good.I had him changed to someone else whom was also v good.

Add 50 % to the headline cost as realistically climate/operational problems cause delays to the program where layoffs require refresher flights

Good luck and be prepared to be financially poor once you start flying
