Most likely to fly in about 12 Months. I've been offered a job at the end of my CPL flying a Baron. We're coming in to Summer here in Adelaide so there won't be that much bad weather around anyway.
Thanks for the feedback regarding flying in bad weather. I'm an older pilot than most guys doing the CPL and thus believe that I'd be more incline not to take risks in bad weather than perhaps a younger guy. As much as my life insurance would look after the family in the unfortunate event of a crash I'd really like to see my kids grow up
. Not one for taking unnecessary risks.
I do understand what you mean about waiting until after the CPL however does it not make sense to do ratings etc ASAP and have them count towards your CPL hours?!
