The J N Somers Scholarship for a frozen ATPL
Hi All
Does anyone out there know if the The J N Somers Scholarship for a frozen ATPL is solely for fixed wing? or do they consider Rotary aswell?
Thanks in advance.

Planks only.
The equivalent cost for a 'frozen' ATPL(H) would probably be at least double the cost of a 'frozen' ATPL(A). (For example, the cost of the IR(H) alone is nearly the same as the whole 'frozen' ATPL(A)!)
They have been for years, Ned. The Weetabix scholarship was first awarded in 2004, and that obviously doesn't include the hundreds of GAPAN members who come from rotary backgrounds.
