I’m off down the route of gaining a CPL A via the complex CAA self-improver route. I will have the required 185 hrs to start my BCPL by about Nov having sat my ATPL ground exams by then. I am only 19 but have decided that flying in some shape or form is to be my career.

Not wishing to ignore any options, can anyone give me a step by step and £ by £ route to becoming a commercial rotary pilot from where I will be in Nov ( FAA IR CAA twin CAA Night Atpl ground Nav & Tech ...I hope!!). I hasten to add that money IS a consideration and probably the end of this notion!

My next stage as a fixed wing pilot would be to bring my hours to 700 as a PPl instructor. How does this compare with the ‘wings moving faster than the fuselage’ route?

Thanks for any help
