Skipping a PPL
Lose the opportunity to put 2 mates in an aeroplane. Equally cost share on your solo navs and knock 2/3 off the price of the aircraft.
The PPL theory exam offers a good opportunity for you to assess your strong and week areas prior to tackling the individual CPL subjects.
Exposure to an additional flight test may help to expose you to the test regime and go someway to reducing subsequent test pressure.
Can add on a night rating and do your solo hours at night as part of your solo hours requirement. could result in you being eligible for an ATPL years earlier. (hard to get night command for many new starters in the industry)
An opportunity for a testing officer to identify your weaker areas and you can consolidate those on the way to a CPL
Could miss out on an opportunity to ferry an aircraft for a few hours
