Hi all,
Assuming I completed my ATPLs with a UK provider and also hold a Class 1 medical plus a UK CPL but decided to do my MEP/IFR in another JAA member state, for instance Germany --since flying training towards these ratings would be significantly cheaper over there than in the UK-- would the order of training conducted matter? In other words, could I, once done with my ATPLs, get my MEP/IFR in Germany first but followed by the CPL training in the UK or vice versa? Or do I have to get the CPL first before adding the MEP/IFR ratings? I'd prefer to do MEP/IFR first as the hours flown towards completion could be used to meet the total time requirement for CPL issue. I know this is possible if the entire training is completed with a UK school, for instance at BFC and in my view that way I'd kill two birds with one stone and save myself some further £££s.
Thanks a lot for your comments folks!
