ATPL / CPL - Opinions?
Since the CAA have decided that I am fit enough to hold a Class 1 medical, my thoughts are now turning to getting started on the theory stuff. Because of other commitments I shall be doing distance learning.
I am interested to hear peoples opinions on whether to do the ATPL or CPL course? And the merits / demerits of both?
I appreciate that advertising is not permitted - but any experiences of doing the above via Distance learning with the various providers is appreciated!
Obviously some background is helpful: Currently around a 100 hr PPL(H), and while I have no immediate intention to start an aviation career I would like to get my CPL / FI ratings over the next 5 years or so; perhaps ending up doing odd bits of CPL work and some instructing at the weekends (assuming I am that lucky!). No plans to do an IR within the time frame afforded by an ATPL.
Anyway, all opinions welcomed!
