Hi guys.
I'm new to this forum, so just wanted to say HELLO. I've been reading thread after thread here and its been extreamly helpful.
The reason I'm here is basically because I have decided to pack up my boring banking job to do something I should have done a long time ago. You have probably heard all that 'I've wanted to become a pilot since I was two' stuff before so I'll spare you that.
I have decided to go the modular route to get my ATPL (that the final goal), the reason behind this route instead on the integrated is that im 27 and I cant ask my parent for the cash because I just find it wrong at my age and I want them to retire also getting a loan and being in debt £70k ummmm no thank you. The other reason is I want to take in steps to see that I can actually do it, if I can't I know I tried and also I have not thrown money away.
Anyway my question, its basic and probably asked a few times (but i can't find it in the search function), to become an Airline Pilot what are the actual modules one needs to do. So far I have:
- PPL
- Flight Experience course (extra hours)
- ATPL Theoritical
- Multi Engine
- Instrument reading
- CPL
- MMC
Anything i'm missing out?
Also would be useful where you guys did each of your modules. Basically to see the type of experience people gained eg: all in the UK or some in UK and some in the US. What where you thoughts on this method cost wise and experience wise.
Thanks guys
