Hi all, 15 Hrs PPL & Help on route to ATPL

Hi all,

Let me give you a brief outline of my scenario. Im 23 live in Bolton near Manchester.

I am currently working as an I.T Engineer to fund my modular training towards becoming an airline pilot ( eventually ). I like many have dreamed about this job so here goes.

I currently have GCSE's 2 A's 7 B's 2 C's inc Maths, English, Science Etc.
3 A-Levels in IT ( B ) / LAW ( C ) / Business Studies ( D )

I have currently done 10 Hrs PPL training in Caenafron ( Cessna 172 SP ) with Any Reay however this was paused due to financial commitments at that time and I am now ready and eager to carry on with this costly exercise.

__________

My questions are...

I am thinking of changng to Liverpool airport PPL training, has anyone had any experience. Does it really matter what plane you learn in for PPL?

Do I meet the minimum requirements at basic level?

What route can ppl suggest so I can apply the 5 P's ( Proper Planning avoids piss poor performance ) As in what order?

Any info is much apreciated, Like I say I'm going to Liverpool this Saturday to have a chat.

How long to reach ATPL Frozen / CPL doing the modular route being realistic.

The problem is Im doing at IT job at the moment earning approx £26000 pa to fund me.

Sorry to ramble and hope you get the outline

Regards David Mann
