Which first??? IR or ATPL?? Please advise.
2 Questions somebody out there must have an opinion on....
a) As a recently qualified PPL(A) holder which of the following would be best in your opinions to do next..... (i) start studying with a view to the ATPL ground exams and then build hours up to the 150 mark after which I can start my CPL??.....OR.....(ii) take my IR which would have the benefit of allowing me to build hours while at the same time learning and getting another rating??
(b) Not everywhere offers the groundschooling for the IR.... Can anyone recommend a decent place to study for the IR? I'm flexible so I don't mind doing the Ground school one place and the flying at another.
Have heard good things of Guildhall Uni for the ground but their web site says in reference to IR schooling:- quote "pending approval by JAA "
Also heard good things about Aeros in Bristol..
Does anybody know anything about these 2 schools or have any answers to the first 2 questions. ALL COMMENTS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
