Advice for Aus.
With only a couple hours trial flight behind me I want to commence training to become a pilot as soon as I arrive in Australia in January 2010.
I am looking for as much help as possible please with genuine ‘all in’ training costs from zero to CPL and realistic timescales to completion for full time training.
Luckily I won’t have the need for a loan so would be keen to get stuck in as soon as I arrive. Would it be beneficial to get started on my PPL in the UK during 2009 or wait and do the lot in Aus?
Assuming I would need further licences to work in either the instructing or offshore arenas what would be the total cost and timeframes to gain these additional papers?
Finally what are job prospects like in general at the moment? I read that it’s a very competitive market across the board from low hour pilots to more experienced but I love a challenge and I am happy to enter the competition!
Any help mucho appreciated - thanks.
