Decisions bugging me, should i stay or should i go CPLH !!
Re Helicopter flight training: Have a PPLH already (60hrs).Work as mech engineer and doing ppl since feb 2010, decided if still like at this stage wud go full time training.
I.R. training in U.K. is next step after CPL (40K)
Q.Just not sure where to do CPL???
Two options:
A- Bristow Florida Jan 2011 Combined JAA/FAA course for holders of PPLH
Cost 75,000 Euro incl accom etc Gives CPL JAA/FAA ,FAA I.R.,CFI..
Main advantage is highly thought of school, and POSSABILITY of job as instructor.(finish with 200hrs Total)
B- Hr build uk and then Oxford for full time ATPL jan to aug 2011, then do CPL in England or modular in Bristows Florida.
Cost 55,000Euros (finish close to 245hrs Total)
Main difference is structure of course and chance of instructing not as good as in Bristows..
Goal is off shore, have visited the Big three in Aberdeen seems most civies trained at Bristows !!
Bristows just does not seem value for money, but higher chance for employment!!
Please can you comment?
