Is this the best way to become an aerobatics pilot?
I had a flight in a pitts with an aerobatics pilot last weekend and absolutely loved it. I want to own and fly one myself one day (for leisure). This is my plan, is this the best way to do it?
Get an EASA PPL now
After that fly microlights every month or so
Occasionally fly SEP
Prepare for and take proficiency test at end of 2 years (when PPL would expire)
Repeat the above until I have enough money to fly SEP more regularly, then train for aerobatics
A bit of background: I'm 29 and don't have kids yet. I can get the 8k together for the PPL, though it will be a struggle. I feel I should get it under my belt now, so that by the time I have other commitments (family etc.), I can just fly to build on my experience, rather than doing the whole PPL.
What do you think?
