CPL

Stephen b

Theres not a lot of diference in the 2, i completed mine in the US but very much regret it now, i have flown more regularly in the UK doing my IR and found, unfortunatley that the company i did my CPL with has obvious flaws in its curriculum, layout and how its applied. Money was the main motivator to get you through as quick as possible. For the most a CPL is still only taking 4 - 5 weeks even in the bad weather in the UK ( we do have good days too) the bad weather strikes also in FL if thats where your thinking of going.

All in all a matter of choice, a good word of advice is to work it out, where you are comfortable, where you are less likely to get ripped off, and the cost of transport, the flight over cos they have gone up too and food and of course accomadation. You pay the same test fees also.

So if you sit and work it out it is probably cheaper do do it in the UK average price seems to be about the £4000 ish mark and in the US £1000 for food and accomadation if you are a light eater then around £500 + if you are unlucky for an airfare and a lot more for a car or airport pick up is £80 each way work it out, do the maths and you will see hope it helps.
