Kay.. well here's my story...
My name's Derek, 16 years old, senior in high school in the up coming year, from Toronto, Canada. Currently I have 23 hours in R22s and 2 hours in a B206.
I recently committed to making the change from Rotary to Fixed wing.
My short term goal is to complete the 25 hours needed for the RPL by late august, mid-term goal would be be complete my PPL by march of 09... Then maybe UND for aeronautical science or Ryerson for Aerospace Engineering while flying on the side to get my CPL, CFI, MEL ect... Ultimate goal is to one day fly for an major airliner like the many of you here :hiya:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's my Questions.
Should i do my Recreational first then upgrade to PPL on my 17th birthday or should i go straight for my PPL??
I will need to take the PPL Ground School either way... and I assumed that the Flight Training costs would cost the same (planning on doing 20 dual
hours anyways), just more Solo Hours needed... The PSTAR and Radio Writtens have to be done before the solo either way too...
So the only price difference i was expecting besides the extra flight hours were the extra DFTE and PPAER tests required to upgrade to PPL After getting the Recreational.
-What do you guys think??
-What's the Price difference between upgrading and going straight for the PPL
-Pro and Cons of each way?
Thanks!
Derek.
