too old? who knows....

Hi Lightheart,

Am 35 going on 36, have a ppl and am preparing for ATPL theory.
Don't have the money yet for the whole hour build/cpl/night rating/MeIr/mcc and type rating, but will worry about that later.
I feel I am not that young and should have my head examined, so that is why I am doing it step by step. That way I can carry on working at the same time. I am sure it's harder and takes longer, but it suits me for now. You sound like a bloke who takes calculated risks and makes them pay-off and determination/self-belief is a big part of all the training. I have a bit less of that, so I chose to do it in stages. As far as eyesight is concerned, I did my Class 1 a few weeks ago and my eyes are -3.50 and -4.00,although my glasses correct me as if I was -4.50 and that is the measurement which was used. I was still within the limit which I think is -5.00.
Good luck with it!
PS. How does your future Mrs feel about her future abode going into AVGAS?
