but by taking a PPL(A) and two more exams I could have an ATPL(A) also.

Er, no you wouldn’t; you’d have a PPL(A) with ATPL(A) theory credits which is still a PPL(A). You would still have to hour build in an aeroplane and take a CPL(A) flying course as well as the necessary experience and ratings (IR/MCC/ME) requirements to get an ATPL(A).

If one thinks there is a possibility of getting an IR within 3 years, by all means go for the ATPL(H), otherwise the CPL(H) exams are sufficient.
