ATPL before PPL?
Hi folks,
Ive actually been thinking about starting my ATPL's now via distance learning and once they are done (in 10 months i hope) I will go to the US to do my PPL/150 hours.
Just wondering what you think about doing ATPL exams before JAA PPL? Has anyone gone this route? The main reasons are
1. Once exams are out of the way I can focus solely on flying without any breaks. JAA PPL/150hrs in US followed directly by JAA CPL/IR in Europe (most likely Spain)
2. I can hour build in the US rather than Ireland saving a lot of €s
3. I can work a little during my 10 months of study to save some cash for my licences.
Thanks a lot
