ATPL theory (we'll say distance learning ie: Bristol): £3000
CPL in UK: £4000
FI rating UK: £6000
By my reckoning that is about £25,000 to get an FI rating limited to SE planes.
All prices are of course estimates and no doubt you could do it a bit cheaper or more expensive in various places. And don't forget to add on living expenses.
Good luck
I'm also interested in this thread - when I've grown up (in a flying sense).
Why would you need to get the ATPL theory??
I thought you only had to do the full CPL (flying and theory) which can be done as a combined course??
