Conversion confusion
I've been considering taking up full time training to CPL / MEIR or possibly Frozen ATPL. This will involve giving up my current livelihood to pursue a career in aviation, all going well that is.
I cannot afford the £60k plus it would cost to achieve this in the UK and have therefore been considering Australia which has it's own appeal apart from the financial advantages. My aim is to return to the UK to find employment here once the training is complete.
However I have become totally confused by the issues around converting the Australian license to a, UK and or JAR equivalent.
Can anybody clarify the situation for me?
Is there an efficient, cost effective alternative such as training to CPL level in Australia, converting and then completing to ATPL in the UK.
Perhaps there is or should be a dedicated course to understand the CAA / JAR licensing issues!!
