Hi Everybody!
I just started to upgrade from Sailplanes to the Frozen ATPL. I am at a fairly early stage (Doing the JAR PPL).
The big question, though, is: Do I pay for a type rating or not?
What are the chances of getting a frozen ATPL in the minimum time and then getting a type rating paid for?
Furthermore, I read an article in "today's pilot" (by no less than the founder of PPRUNE) that suggests a type rating on a turboprop type may be more appropriate and cheaper. How much cheaper?
I dont want to sound as if I am being tight (although I dont have much money
) - I am quite prepared to go the extra couple of miles if that is what it takes. But I just want to know - how neccessary is it??
Any advice appreciated!
Cheers guys!
