Brilliant Stuff,

I've done a Mountain Flying course and I regularly do continuation training (in fact I'm doing a day of it tomorrow) with an ex-military instructor who puts me through my paces.

I can do a distance learning CPPL course, which a good friend of mine has just completed, so that was a consideration. There is no really good reason for me to do a CPL (H) other than to improve my game.

I certainly wouldn't mind doing some training in the USA with Bell. I've spoken to a couple of pals who are CPL pilots and instructors who have suggested I do it - if only for the aforementioned reasons.

As I own a JetBox and fly regularly the flying element isn't going to cost me that much extra and If I do a distance learning course I reckon I can get the theory and exams out of the way for about £5k.

I've not made my mind up yet and I'm in no hurry. I have to say that I would really love to get my FI(H) ticket - which needs a CPL (H) these days.

Anyway, I'm considering my options. Thanks for the input.

Joel
