Guys/Ladies (Whirlygig
) just starting out on my PPL quest. Only going onto my second lesson but hey!!
Anyway I hope to get whatever licenses are needed to fly for an airline. So I am thinking get the PPL done and then go as an instuctor on the PPL as a way to earn cash and build hours at the same time for free. Obviously I'll be working towards my next license on the side.
Can you guys shed any light as to whats involved to go as a PPL instructor and the costings too. What licenses will I need in addition to the PPL and so on. I expect the PPL will cost me about €10,000 by the time I'm done. As I work I'll chip away at it over a 12-18month period.
If anyone can suggest a cheaper school thats good quality too in Ireland let me know.
Also with regard to my eyesight, I have a bad astigmatism in my right eye, with glasses however I can see perfectly. Will this suffice in a class 1 med, or will I need lazer surgery done to go for a CPL at some stage.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
