Convert it to JAA for £4,000
Hour Building $6,000 (£3,100)
JAA CPL for $5,000 (£2,600)
ATPL ground school £2,000 (distance)
MCC £1,900
The above comes to £19,300 which is well below 25k, but i guess with accomodation it'll push it up. The prices are approx, but ive estimated high.
You can also do the JAA IR in spain for about 8k. Its cheap (well in flight training terms) if you do the training in the USA.
Don't want to rain on your parade, but I'd budget a little more...converting your FAA IR to a JAA IR for a budget of 4K is a potential banana skin.
Also you haven't budgeted for any fees? Eg it costs around £1000 to sit the IRT, circa £770 for the exams. Then there's the CPL test, the Multi stamp on your licence...I had £500 worth of approach fees alone. Then there's the Medical, your Visa, your flights to and from the states, your accomodation.
I reckon you won't get much change out 30K - 35K minimum.
Anyway, back to the thread...Dan98 - CONGRATS mate. I was actually at Bristol with you. I finished as you joined. I knew you were made of the right stuff. Very enthusiastic and determined...
I'll send you a pm..
