ATPL(A) to ATPL(H) theory

All

I am currently 1/2 way through MOD 1 of the BGS course.

Having done some real soul searching (and finding a new bun in the oven christmas day), it looks like I may have to put on hold my heli career, for now anyway.

My biggest problem is the hour building, heli's being that much more expensive in the UK, with my ever increasing family I cant just up sticks and goto the states.

Plan B. Continue my ATPL, but change to ATPL(A) (if BGS allow me to)

Hour build FW then CPL, thats my ATPL locked in.

Then convert the ATPL(A) theory to ATPL(H) theory - hoping 1 or 2 exams.

I want to get the bulk of the theory out of the way now, as I dont think I will have the time (family etc) in a couple of years time.

I am already a few hours away from a PPL(A) as this is what started me of flying, but never got to finish before start the PPL(H) and finishing that.

Thoughts comments views - all welcome.

Thanks.
