dfspilot - I didn't realise the Class 1 gave you Class 2 privileges for 2 years, thats good to know, cheers for that. In that case a Class 1 it is!
Also, cheers for the checklist - pretty much what I had figured but good to see it verified! Only thing is, checklist looks easy
I started reading through some PPL stuff and was amazed how quickly it sank in and the only reason being that it was because it interested me - I know the ATPL will be a zillion times harder - can't say I thought the same when reading for my wireless network cert!
