CPL (with or without MEP) & MEIR - In what order and where to train?
Hi all. I have a UK EASA PPL (A) with 450hrs and currently doing my ATPL's with CATS in Luton. I am unsure as to what to do next, where to do it and in what order. My aim (like anyone else) is to do it reasonably cheap but at the same time in a decent school with good quality instruction. I have looked at a few schools in the US like Flyeft, Naples and Panam Academy for the CPL and Bartolini, Aerodynamics and Aerofan for the ME/IR
I am trying to figure out if it is more beneficial to do the CPL combined with MEP (to prepare for ME/IR) and then move on to the ME/IR or do the ME/IR first and then do the normal SE CPL with 10hrs reduction that you get or just do the CPL SE and then do the ME/IR??
Would it be fair to say that doing the ME/IR first could be more of a disadvantage because by the time you get your CPL and MCC done you will have already eaten into a few weeks/months of the ME/IR leaving you closer to the renewal?
If you could suggest and give feedback of any schools to train at I would be very grateful. Is there many schools in Florida that are CAA approved and that do CPL training or is there just a handful as I am having trouble finding more schools online?
