Thanks for all the replys. I feel that the PPL(A) is more than likely the route that I will follow initially as its the most economical route to getting and staying airbourne...
I know it sounds like a simple dilemma.... If you want to fly planes do PPL(A) or ditto with heli's but I'm finding it a difficult choice to make so early in my aviation affliction!
Just out of interest, what woud be the additional requirements of adding a heli ticket to a fixed wing one? Are the basic exams the same ie you would just have to rack up hours and do a check ride or do you have to sit completely different exams?
I would be really interested to hear from someone who was in a similar situation and what route they finally took.
Thanks again for the time.... apologies if I come across like a whining pre-pubescent skygazer.... I'm really not
