Im not sure if this should be in here or Rotorheads..
But anyhow..
Im really confused having read a load of informationa all over the place....
Im currently PPL(H) working towards a career in rotory aviation... (I know its a hard path to take so lets not go there!)...
But..I am confused as to what to be aiming for...do I head for CPL(H) and do the 9 exams, or should I be looking at doing the ATPL(H) and take the 14 exams?
So far my understanding is that to actually use the ATPL(H) I have to complete an IR within 5 years, which, unless I get sponsorship (which seems potentially unlikley) I would not be able to do this. With this reasoning, the CPL(H) makes more sence...
But, if I have the ATPL(H), it may be more enticing for potential IR sponsors?
If I do the 9 CPL exams now, do I have to do all 14 exams for ATPL if and when I need to, or do I just do 5 extra units?
Or am I totaly confused? It really is a minefield of information out there and I keep tripping over each damn thing in turn
Any help appreciated, any abuse taken with humor...
