Question Pre-CPL Concerns

Hi All,

I am almost ready to start the Flying part of the CPL but I'm getting a little concerned about it whether I'll make the grade or not.

I've spoke to quite a few of my friends who have gone though it all and come out with fATPLs etc etc and they've told me not to worry about it, I've read a few posts on here that a few students have taken over 40hrs to just get their CPL But on the same token I've also read that it's not really a problem to get it done in the minimum time.

I've already made my mind up as to were I'll do the course and one of the instructors has told me that if I'm a good PPL then there will be no problems.

But what constitutes a good PPL I wonder ? I've still got a few more hours to do before the required 150 TT and I'm not really wasting a lot of my HB time by burning holes in the sky, I've been getting better at my Nav and handling etc ( I hope )

Like most I'm really on counting on passing my CPL in the min time frame as I've not got a bottomless pit of money like most of us I suppose, is there anything else that I should be doing to hit the board running so to speak when the CPL finally commences.


Cheers
