Barney Stubble, thanks for the information so far, it was all really helpfull but there are a few things i don't quite understand...
"Training: all at Cranditz, 5 months modular groundschool for ATPL, 3 months (weather permitting) for CPL and AFIC. RTB Cranditz after 1 year for multi rating, then at 2 years for IR, MCC. Type rating usually in Maastricht"
So do you mean the initial time at Cranfield is 8 months, followed by instructing then back to Cranfield for multi rating (how long? ) after 1yr at Cabair then instructing for another year then back to Cranfield again (for how long?)... then more instructing?
Also how is the best way to hour build from say 50hrs to 180?
And what is an AFIC?
Thanks for all the help...best of luck in the job!
