I shared in my post "When's it too late..?" that I want to become a commercial pilot. It's a deliberate career change choice based on wanting to realise a boyhood wish. So I've decided it really is now or never.
I have booked in for my Class 1 Medical. It is on 11th October. I have also started studying online with http://www.easypplgroundschool.com, which was a suggestion from the forum. I am in touch with one of my local flying schools (headcorn), and will visit them later this week. I am planning my journey out carefully especially funding, instructor, aircraft, my time commitment. Ive got one eye on ebay for useful second hand kit. Your posts in the Forum are a fantastic source of experience and advice. Thanks.
I've got six weeks until the class 1 which is the deal breaker dream maker milestone. I don't want to over commit money too soon. So unless anyone has other suggestions i'll get my nose in the books, talk to Weald Air at Headcorn about ground school and take the first block of exams. I may (restraint is tough) book up for a lesson a week until I get the results of the Class 1.
Oh yes ... my Wife! She is fully supportive as long as I can fund my endeavour and keep home affairs in order! Thank God for her practical straight talking feet on the ground common sense...
I'll post regular updates here
A Huge Thanks to AndyR.
