I post these comments mostly because I want to refer back to this thread over the next 30 years.


Skimping on basic flying training fees by choosing an obscure flying school in another country is one of the WORST but most COMMON mistakes wannabes make.


In those first 45hrs the foundations of flying are laid. Like a house. If the foundations are iffy it doesn't matter how grand the kitchen is - the house is rubbish. A cheap Instrument Rating is far preferable to a cheap PPL course. On the 2hr IR test you might have a nice day a relaxed examiner and an easy route - your cheap training will have got you a first time pass.

Do a good PPL course. At a localish school. Tell them you are planning on going commercial. They will invest time and effort into you as a result and as many have a reputation to defend they will make sure you don't find yourselves so disgruntled as to be organising law suits on PPRuNe.
