Stapleford isn't my closest airport I'd be moving to commence training.
I would do but I don't like distance learning, I find I learn better in an environment with other people and someone teaching the subject.
I was thinking of doing the full time ground school and fit some hour building in on some weekends, After we finish the ATPL theory my plan was to do structured hour building where I practice my nav skills, get better at flying not just randomly burn holes in the sky.
