Ok to sum things up.
Also you forgot Visa and TSA fees.
Visa is around £66
TSA is around $130
Fingerprints around $5 a hand in the US.
I rounded up considerably to compensate for these as already stated!
The raising of the £40 (+) thousand quid could be from working. Let's find out first before we assume it will be a loan from the parents/bank.
Thankyou!
Books and stuff - what is in the study pack you quote? Does it have the CRP5 that you will need for the ATPL exams? Does it have the Trevor Thom manuals to get you through the PPL exams?
Yes.
Most guys buy their own headsets as well. In the US expect to pay in US dollars what the price is in the UK. Probably another £150 or so for a decent set of David Clarkes unless you are feeling particularly wealthy and go for Sennheiser or something like that.
Got a good headset and i feel its ridiculous to spend that much on sun glasses!!
Basically i plan to work and save for my training, my parents have offered to lend me half of it if i can find the other half.
I don't intend to become a commercial pilot in the next year, it will take several and i will gain life experience through these years!
Thanks,
Felix.
