Hi Mariner,
I'm looking to do my PPL with B-F-C, it's 50 mile hike from Cardiff but I'll be looking to go back there the following year to carry out my CPL/Multi-IR.
The reason I'm looking at achieving all exams by May is due to wanting to start my PPL in the summer months (or early summer).
I have the £6k cash now, but if I wait until June I'll have a little more in order to sit my Night rating (£700) straight after
Reason for picking the summer is because I'm wanting to take minimum time off work. June for example I 'could' take 4 weeks off which would include 5 weekends and 4 working weeks in order to get my PPL.
I studied my motorbike licence via CBT and found it much easier than reading books.
Thanks for the advise
