The plan ???
All,
many thanks for taking the time to reply and you supportive words and advice.
Having taken your advice and read thru the available materials / researched the net etc, to get him to a level where he would be "qualified" to obtain a career in his current preferred field (ie small aircraft, exec jets, air taxi etc) am I correct in assuming the following path /costs ( i have used a UK based private flying school ie Bristl Airport as a baseline)
PPL - c £3k
PPL - Night Rating c £1k
PPL - IMC c £2.5k
PPL - Multi Engine c £2.5K
CPL - c £5.5k
CPL - IR c £12.5k
I assume these costs are to qualify only and some additional cost will need to be build in to maintain / build flight hours experience ?
I think I will be advising him to continue his studies and obtain work in the aircraft industry (voluntary work as well looks to be a commom thread!) and then work towards his flying qualifications over the next 5 years.
Any validation of the above (or counter comments / corrections) would be appreciated......
