Is this a good start ?

[vintage]

Hello,

I am very interested to start with a JAA CPL ATPL study but I am a little bit worried to start off immediately with a +60K integrated course.
So I am thinking about the following :
Start with my JAA PPL at EFT or OFT.
When I completed my PPL I want to study for the ATPL theorie in Europe and after that I can do the CPL/IR/MEP/MCC and airtime hours back in the USA.
The reason to do the PPL first is that I am 37 and so I am a little bit careful. During my PPL I will gain more knowledge about a pilot carriere and this gives me a better view on investing further in my pilot carriere without having to pay immediatly a big sum of money.
Do you think this is a good way to start in my situation ?

Thanks !
