thanks guys for the advice, all is taken on board. ive decided to fit the training in with my life and to have fun with it too.
there for i have decided to do my PPL with sunrise in florida and then convert when i get back. i leave may 4th so i will do all the homework before i go. then come back have a summer muck around, then come September knuckle down until march 2016 tackling the ATPL exams and intermittently flying at newcastle air port and my skydiving dropzone C182 (if i get the nod).
then do a dirty dash back stateside to get the necessary hours before i turn up to BCFT and undertake the CPL, MEP, IR and MCC. im sure by this stage( back end of next year) i will be better equipped to make the decision on whether to undertake a MCC/JOC course together at somewhere like CRM etc.
thats my plan. lets just HOPE it works. but one things for sure ill keep trying.
