Hi all,
I'm starting from scratch (looking to do PPL, and then get moving with all the relevant licenses there after), and I need a bit of advice.
I am currently in Australia (my native land), awaiting a visa to go back to the UK to live and work. It means waiting around doing a lot of nothing for up to 3 months here.
I'm looking to start my PPL, but unsure whether I should do it here in Australia, convert it when I get to Europe, and go from there, or wait until I arrive in the UK and start my PPL there (thus eventually completing all licenses in the UK).
I've got a lot of mixed feedback regarding costs for the conversion course, so does anyone know how much it actually costs to convert an Australian PPL to a European one?
I am basically trying to figure out what route would be cheaper, and if there would be any disadvantages to doing my PPL in Oz and then my CPL etc in the UK?
I also have to factor in to the equation that I am 29 at the end of this year, and if I do wait until I arrive in the UK, that's 3 precious months lost.
Any advice?
Ta all.
