great to see someone who is thinking along my lines as regards taking a gap year and making it of benefit.
Do you think one exam every 3-4 weeks is sufficient. Also how much is it do to these at a local flying school? £20 - £50?
Im hoping to do my Class 1 Medical in Gatwick in November so I've booked an appointment with my GP tomorrow to go over my Asthma.
Its never been a problem, ie i play competitive sport (University football team), never had an Asthma attack and am in no way dependant on an inhaler.
So i hope this isn't a stumbling block before i go on. Also going for a Eye Test too. To make sure i don't get any nasty surprises when i do get to Gatwick.
