PPL- now, or later?
I'm just aboutm to leave school to go to uni, At the moment I glide, but i'm thinking about getting my ppl. As I understand it, if you take the modular option to a CPL/IR/-frozen ATPL all the exams have to be taken within 3 years (source 02fo- is this out of date?) As it will be about 5 years before i will have finished all my training, is it worth getting my ppl now, and if so, do i have to take the exams again later?
If i do decide to do it now, i'm a bit pushed for time, how long do you reckon would it take (in full days, full time) to complete my ppl, bearing in mind i will have my bronze certificate for gliding by then (if that means anything to you)
Has anyone else out there taken this route? did u find that gliding experience cut down the length of ppl training much?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to avoid a-level revision; relatively speaking, this stuff is absolutely fascinating!
cheers
