Been reading this thread with interest.
Beagle, could you explain what you mean by:
"But you'll get 100 hours theory credit towards mandatory CPL groundschool time if you pass your exams successfully"
The reason I ask is because, (due to having an extended break, and changing schools a few times), it took me more hours than most, (or 45 min), to get the PPL, and I'd now like to take the CPL groundschool examinations, with view to then getting an FI qualification so I can instruct.
Can I use the hours in excess of the 45 minimum towards the CPL, or have I got to start from scratch?
Sorry to ask such a stupid question, but it appears to be a minefield out there, with regards to getting information on what is required to progress to instructor level, so would greatly appreciate any advice you have.
nb - sorry if anybody thinks I've nicked the thread!
