I'm pretty much going down the route of carrying out my training in South Africa through to SA IR/CPL ME. To be honest the financial implications are the main reason I'll be doing this as well as having a South African girlfriend.
In terms of converting the qualifications to JAA approved ratings will I save much money( I know the flight tests in the UK would cost the same with/without the prior experience)?
Additionally, can anyone provide constructive feedback with their thoughts on carrying out the qualifications in SA only to convert at a later stage also studying the ATPL ground course in the UK? I've heard very mixed feedback and would like some more, even if again it's mixed!
Your feedback would be much appreciated.:ok:
