That was a ridiculous response.
I didn't mean excessive hours of training. I meant the proportion of Instrument Vs Visual flying is weighted very differently to Modular training. With modular it takes 55 Hours for the IR-MEP-SPA as opposed to 115 hrs Instrument on Integrated.
It's actually more likely that I'll go with the Modular way as it fits in better with me being a full-time Aerodrome/Approach and Area Radar Controller. Shifts will be more conducive to ATPL Distance Learning.
If anyone could help with my original query that would be great!
