Well I live only a few miles from EMA so I was planning on doing the PPL at the flight school there so that I didn't have to travel to far to each lesson.
The other parts will obviously require a greater level of financial planning. If I took the university option it would mean me having to relocate to another part of the country and with the rental costs, food, tuition fees etc etc I think the total bill would be around the £45-50K mark. In other words not so different to flying via a modular route. Around £30K of the uni costs would be via the standard government loan so would take the sting out of that. Sadly no such option exists for learning to fly so it would require more careful planning.
