Now you've got me thinking!

Maybe I crossed SA and Canada out too soon!

Quite right - I didn't include the hours in my rough costing, because I didn't realise you had. However, I do need more hours before I can start the CPL, which does indeed seem to be where the saving can be made.

Are your prices current - how long since you did this?
Are your prices typical of most schools in SA, or did you pick a cheap one?
PA28 £40
Twin £110

One thing which does still put me off a bit is the idea of having to sit more theory exams. I know everyone says they're much easier than JAA exams, but I have heard more of those comments about the Canadian theory. I have heard that SA theory is pretty similar to JAA (infact I thought they also had 14 exams??).

Is just 2 weeks revision really all that is needed? I have finished the JAA stuff within the last few months, but found it pretty tough going. It would all be a bit of a disaster if I was out there struggling to pass the ground exams.
