Thought I'd best report back to you bunch of reprobates that I passed the FI Test and have been to CAA Towers and had it added to my licence. Woo Hoo!!
But had to part with £ 108 for the privilege as well as £ 475 for the flight test!
Now on the CPL and going well. I'm also going to be doing some unpaid instructing for a few weeks whilst doing the CPL.
So keep fighting troops - I am actual living proof that even those who the powers that be have deemed as unfit to fly commercially can earn a living from aviation.
