Funding a PPL(H)?

[Ding Dong]

Yes I think that IS the way forward

Excellent .. forward is the best way to be going !

[dragman]

Ok, 60 bucks - but that's my final offer

KNIEVELL77, oh yes, i had to cycle around for a while and catch the train but i would do it again in a heartbeat

Dragman,

60,000 bucks? Ok then!

K77,

I'm off to the US mid June for my PPL. More than enough funding for PPL and not just FAA mins. I'd get more if needed.

I'm operating in CPL/CFI plans. PPL is 'out of the way' regarding plans.
Everything sorted, just waiting for the time pass so I can load my bum to flights and commence first part of my long and painful journey towards aviation career. I'd also like to be dual rated in the future, but heli first.

Maybe I'll go to Norway in two years' time, stay for two years, get their citizenship and then I'll be able to get VERY NICE loan for flight training :-)

Are you ill man?? Two years for citizenship in Norway.. I think you should look into that again as it isn't as easy as you think unless you are a Scandinavian already.

Sorry for the smart comments. Couldn't resist! After driving a Lotus (once) I'd be struggling with that decision too. What are your plans after you've got a cpl?

MD900,

OK. I must have remembered something wrong. I did see something of that kind, but after checking it now, I admit it's 7 out of last 10. Now it bugs me as I clearly remember 2 from somewhere. I even looked bit surprised but didn't cross-check it.
I don't know of any other country with 2 years to citizenship, except Australian system under old rules (ie folks becoming PRs before July 07, would qualify for citizenship of OZ after 2yrs being PR).
Oh, now I remember Argentina.. 2years to citizenship by naturalisation.Still baffled why it stuck in my brain..

Well, in that case, I'd just get job with Norsk if/when I finish part 66 theory (degree) exams as they do take on 'fresh' mechs and keep saving up.

I know of that Norwegian lang requirement, OR, 300 hours of language classes. Guess 300hr would be easier than mastering NL. Had a taster over past months from N. flatmate. German knowledge doesn't help much..

It will take you more than 300 hours to reach the fluency level required... Stakkers lille mann, jeg synes nesten synd paa deg

Not to mention the lack of knowledge of the BSL law framework

citizens of other Nordic Council countries may naturalise after a two-year residence

source Wiki

Forgot the 'Nordic Council' about it as the criteria are touch complicated.

Anyway, after attending 300 hours of Norwegian classes and cohabiting in Norwegian equivalent of common law relationship (unmarried, could be same sex as well, but civil union then) for three years in Norway
I WILL BE ABLE TO GET CITIZENSHIP

So I forgot some details and didn't remember the conditions, but I missed it by ONE year if such conditions are met. I don't think finding girlfriend (or gay guy for the purpose if I were up to it) would be such impossible feat.

Yeah. the 'guess' I wrote was subtle 'surely' if you didn't get it.
Funny how specific the law is. You can see it's pretty hard to become fluent in Norwegian language not speaking another Nordic language.
You would hardly get any naturalisation applications then.
