davey147,
Doing pretty much the same route as you - Nr next month, followed by IMCR/hourbuilding/ATPL theory etc, then CPL/ME.
I've decided to do my FI straight after CPL (hours allowing) and then the IR/MCC once I've built up experience.
In theory (!) I'm planning to finance everything up to the IR/MCC without a loan, through work/parents/etc, and then get one once I've gotten more experience in instructing.
Hopefully this should work out so that I'm not repaying the loan for a big chunk of expensive training that I'm not even using whilst I'm instructing PPLs.
Opinions/criticisms (constructive please!) welcome on this route btw. Also - doesn't the IR have to be done within a certain length of time after passing the ATPL theory?
