no point in doing atpl exams if you dont know you can pass a class 1 medical. do the initial at gatwick and it also allows you to have class 2 priviledges ( ppl etc ) for two years , and class1 for 1 year.
1 get class 1 medical done.
2 do ppl n/r etc
3 enrol with bgc and do atpl exams ( 14 in all )
4 do hour building to 150 hours to commence cpl course with 100 hours pic, cpl course ( 25 hours if single engine) more if done in multi engine.
5 then renew class 1 with ame as you need it for cpl, but remember you need 200 hours total to get the cpl license issued if going modular route.
6 cpl ME or whichever way you want to do it
7 ir ( you now have frozen atpl )
8 mcc
9 join the queue for a job
or do some instructing after step 5 or after you complete if unable to land a job as it builds confidence , knowledge, contacts , and hours.
just my opinion and this site is great for getting info as you work your way through your training.
good luck and enjoy it all ( even the groundschool ).
