So, the moment I've got my PPL, I could tootle off and sign up for a ground school, assuming my maths and physics skills are ok (knew that physics degree would come in handy one day

)?
Also, are the hour requirements for CPL what you have to have to do the CPL skills test or for entry into the flight training course? i.e. could I count my CPL training towards the total (assuming a flight school who were prepared to take me at, say, 130 hours)?
