CPL only?
Sorry for my continual questions, but it's quite difficult going from one giant bureaucracy to another!
I've spoken to a CFI in the UK that I trust and he suggests that a bare bones CPL and instructor rating is sufficient for employment as a FI just starting out. It's probably better for the flying school as it reduces the probability of the FI running off at the first sniff of an airline job.
Given that I'm more than happy to have a career as an instructor at this stage (yes, weird I know!) I'm inclined to just convert my Aussie CPL & FI rating to the UK equivalent and get flying ASAP with minimal costs. There isn't much detail about CPL theory (compared to ATPL), can anyone recommend a CPL distance learning course? Am I correct in assuming that the CAA will not give me any credit for the Aussie CPL theory?
Cheers!
