Yes OP, good luck with your ambition.


Next, a word of caution. My first full time flying job as a UK CPL-IR was to fly a UK businessman hither and thither to fulfil his business commitments. My employer had purchased a useful SEP with a view to flying himself but he never made it as a pilot. (So I got a first job at a time when it was very hard to do so.)


So I mention it just as an example where ambition outstripped ability.


It was an attempt at an all weather , year round operation and within the constraints of airplane limitations and pilot inexperience (around 1000 hours at that time), we achieved utilisation that by and large satisfied the aircraft owner.
