fATPL in New Zealand?
Hi All,
I want to do an ab-initio course leading to my fATPL - I have spent a year or so in NZ before, and think it would be a great place to learn to fly (and cheaper than the UK)!
Which course/training centre do you think might be suitable? I would rather stick with one training provider! The problem is that I want to be as confident as possible in finding 'pilot' work once I return to the UK - are the British airlines going to be concerned that I have done my training in NZ?! How easy/expensive is it to convert the licence to JAA?!
And also out if interest, where do Air New Zealand recruit there lowhour cadet pilots from - do they have a preferred training partner in NZ?? i.e. perhaps in the same way that BA seem confident to take on a good amount of OAT integrated students in the UK!
Thanks for your help!!
