Ouch!
I'm just studying for my ATPL(H) now, I realised that I needed to get an IR in 3 years but didn't realise that if I failed I would have to do the theory again! What are the chances of getting an IR through a company? That is most probably a "how long is a piece of string" question, but I thought if I didn't get the IR then I would be downgraded to a CPL(H) and not have to do the theory again.
I was actually recommended to do the ATPL(H) instead by someone in the industry, but is it really worth trying to get the ATPL(H) knowing that if you don't succeed you'll have to re-sit everything, isn't it better to get the CPL(H) theory then upgrade to ATPL(H) later on after the IR?
I don't fancy having to do all the exams again, let alone pay for them...again!
OOTD
