Can I just check something...
Whilst out in NZ for 12-14 months, do you still come back twice for a few days leave and complete half of the ATPL exams? I know I've read that's what they do somewhere along the line. The website isn't too clear, they say:
Your Commercial Pilot Licence and Instrument Rating (CPL/IR) training will take about 14 months. The first 12 months are completed in New Zealand at our Crew Training Centre at Hamilton International Airport, returning to the UK to sit your Airline Transport Pilot licence (ATPL) theoretical knowledge exams and to enjoy some well-deserved leave.
If so, are we talking about 4 months in NZ at a time?
Thanks,
