Package Two - CPL before IR/ME Does anyone know whether these include skills tests, license issues, training literature, examination fees, etc..?

Yes i called them today, however, I was unable to get in contact with a certain Lisa Green as she is away, so i thought i'd get a heads up on here. Any ideas guys?

£5,500 for PPL if paid upfront i think. Somthing around that figure.

Set up is quite good. I'll be doing the PPL with them but dont know about hour building. crap british weather.

And again same with groundschool ATPL's. I have heard ups and downs about London Met and really confused whether it'll be best for me even though I live 40mins on the tube away from London Met.

This modular training routes is really confusing!!

all those prices are based on minimum hours and dont include flight tests. im finishing my IR at stapleford at the mo and have done all my training here. the prices are pretty accurate but do not include fuel dury.

you have to take into account extras like skills tests, accomodation, food, and equipment you need to buy as well.

No it doesn't.

If you can, go overseas to do the PPL and part of the hour building, and save the money and get it done quicker, but save about 30 hours or so to build here to get used to flying here before the CPL.

I have heard ups and downs about London Met and really confused whether it'll be best for me even though I live 40mins on the tube away from London Met.
Couldn't fault London Met, had a great time there - great bunch of instructors. Just about everyone in my class got through first time. 40 mins away would be a no-brainer for me. Why go elsewhere and waste extra money on accomodation if you don't need to. You can even get a student Oyster card and get cheaper travel whilst your at LMU.

Nope. As stated above, those prices are for aircraft hire, landing fees at Stapleford and instruction only.

Just got off the phone to Stapleford and have been quoted £45,000 from PPL to MCC. This is obviously based on first time passes so i should look to add at least a 15% contingency plan.

Many thanks for the help guys,

Fs.

Hi there.

For what it’s worth I went to see Stapleford and really liked the feel of the place. I decided not to go there due to geographical reasons but I reckon it’s a good alternative to some of the bigger schools (even if its only for the earlier parts of your training).

Cheers.
