Hello,
Can anyone help or give me some advice?
I am currently a glider pilot, not through lack of interest in powered flying but more lack of funds. My aim has always been to embark on professional pilot training and now i think its time I started before it gets to late.
I am hoping to travel the roads that many of you have, or are still travelling and as such could do with some advice from people who have actually taken what I understand to be a long and expensive process to the fATPL.
I'll be honest, apart from doing my PPL which I am hoping to begin next year I am unsure of the licenses, flying hours and exams required and the order in which it is best to take them. I am aware of the IMC rating but am unsure as to whether it is worth while as I believe it is not recognised by the JAA.
Please! Any feed back and advice on the routes other people have taken/taking would be grately appreciated. I have already mentioned that I have'nt yet started any training but I think it is wise to know where you are going before you start your journey. (very philosophical I know). Oh yes, and just the little subject of how much hammer my wallet will need to take whilst I am on my 'journey', I'd probably be wise to find out the real costs that other people have faced and not just the ones that the flying schools quote to entice you to them.
Cheers again for any help,
Paul.
