If you've been reading about on the forum you'll probably have seen my posts already. I think it is realistic if you get your medical sorted ASAP - if you're based in Italy then it may make sense to plan in advance. The local AME also asked for a printout from my optician. But nothing is ever set in stone. You could end up with a month of bad weather. Guarantees can't be made.

I haven't been there for a few years so my information is not quite current. I don't know the new flying instructors, for example. But I liked the school. I've since had lessons or been based in 3 other schools around the country and never regretted training in Inverness. The weather is generally good enough to be flyable but bad enough to be interesting. There's a nice combination of controlled and uncontrolled airports/airstrips so you should end up comfortable with either. And the scenery is stunning.

If you do decide to train there, let us all know how it works out.
