Hi thejakes

Well first of all It depends on yourself especially on how much you want to put into your hour building , do you want to fly 3 or 4 or 5 hours a day ? it can be quite exhausting at times .

Also have you done the ppl exams before you go out there ? that will hurry up the process also but here is a rough estimate for for you.

PPl licence : 4 weeks ( three if you have the exams already )

night rating : 3 days

Imc rating : 2 weeks ( personally would not bother with it )

60 / 70 hours : 4 weeks ( thats if you want to enjoy it but can be done quicker )

total time : 11 weeks

Ill mention that this all depends on the school that you are going to ! how many planes do they have ? ( are you going to be sitting around the school waiting for a warrior thats been shared by 20 other students )
Planes go tech , be prepared for the 100 hour service or breakdowns waiting for your plane to come back from the workshop !!!!

If I was in your situation , which I have been in the past I would be allowing about 13 to 14 weeks or else book a ticket that allows a date change at a low penalty or an open ended ticket ..
