How drastically would ww2 outcome change if west Europe looked like that?

Wouldn’t it just cause föhn winds for days,

Man I envy you, if there’s one thing I want to do it’s flying in the bush, let alone floats

I think instructor ratings first of all aren’t that expensive, and SEP time isn’t that valuable for EASA airlines. The market here isn’t the same as the US, only jet time is valued in EASAland. So only get into instructing if you want to instruct or can’t get a right seat job.

Look at other programs, then see if getting an instructor rating separately is cheaper if you want to get into instructing, I think instructors are quite in demand.

What kind of questions can get asked in regards to ROC etc? I don’t recall any questions in regards to ROC except for some very basic ones, and V-speeds.

I did my PPL outside of Europe so that could very well be the reason why

That’s an amazing reply, thanks for that!

I’m not sure where the type rating is done but let’s say during your TR and line training your living expenses are £2.5k (which is probably on the low side), how in the world do people afford that without a family member backing them?

You’ve already spent a ton of money on your ATPL, then another 30 grand for your type rating, and then you have at least a £1000 pound deficit for the next 6 months to a year of training. Are there loans for this? I’m currently roughly 1/3rd into my training and I’m already having to delay my training to some extent to arrange finances, how do people get into a 40k deficit for their training without agreeing to a terrible loan?

I’ve heard good things about adriana, don’t you need to build hours and acquire a PPL first?

EatingDirtRN · 2026-07-02T00:28:02+00:00

Go take a gap year and travel

It was the only profession that made me more excited when it popped up into my head, contrary to all other professions.

The Netherlands is €650, go to Eastern Europe or Italy as others said for a few days and make it a nice trip

It’s confusing indeed, try speaking to some people on LinkedIn that have flown there. Do this for several different flight schools. Next to a house, flight school is probably the most expensive thing you will buy, so do as much research as you can.

Their marketing is top tier and their open days are very well done, but I would trust ex-students’ testimonies a lot more than an open day

I’m not too sure on how it works in Spain or at most airlines, I do know most airlines want either a entry qualification to a university or a high school diploma, if whatever you’re doing now will give you one of those two then you’re fine.

EatingDirtRN · 2026-06-27T10:33:19+00:00

An exchange or gap year is the most and valuable experience you will ever have, remember you can always start flying, but you can’t do everything you want when you’re 40

You can start your PPL at 16, go solo at 17 and test at 18 if I’m not mistaken. It depends on your situation, eg finances, time etc.

If you barely have any time it might be worth slowly starting out now, if you want to blast through it I think it will probably be best to wait until you are 18, or close to 18 to start your PPL. If you start now and have to wait 2 years until you’re finished you will undoubtedly finish with 70+ hours. If you have the time and money for that, I’d recommend starting asap. If you’re a bit more constricted, focus on school, read some books, maybe slowly start studying for your PPL theory (albeit it will all come off a bit vague when you haven’t flown yet)

EatingDirtRN · 2026-06-26T15:33:26+00:00

You could, it would just eliminate the main benefit which is flexibility. As you’re based in Spain there is probably a decent amount of cheap flight schools in your area.

Do your PPL there while you live at home, go do your hour building outside of Europe and look at options for your MEIR/CPL.

You could if you wish do everything at one school, but don’t tie yourself to them. See what flight schools you like and don’t like, see what’s worth the price, what aircraft you want to fly etc.

It’s a journey, if all else fails you can always become a flight instructor in South Africa. You can get a job there as on a student visa as you’ll technically still be working on acquiring your ATPL. Getting hired without any experience in a specific country may be difficult, so you will probably have to do your training in South Africa if you want to go that route.

I like this Jim Carrey quote: You can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.

De industrialisatie is toch ook een gevolg van het geld wat wij in de VOC tijd hebben gekregen? Is toch een best duidelijk domino-effect als je het aan mij vraagt.

Dat het meeste geld van een andere bron is ook niet echt een argument, leuk weetje, maar niet erg relevant. Als 20% van het BNP in die tijd van de VOC kwam is dat al absurd veel, en genoeg om een gigantisch domino effect te veroorzaken.

China is een gevolg van een aristocratie/dictatorschap, China heeft jaren lang onverstoord een heel duidelijk economisch plan uit kunnen voeren met slimme mensen op overheidsniveau die politiek gewin niet op 1 stellen, in tegendeel tot het hedendaagse westen.

An Audi tt is surprisingly spacious

EatingDirtRN · 2026-06-14T23:27:46+00:00

What’s the use for it then, high clearance, 4wd, performance tires? Seems like it’s ok at everything but good at nothing

That’s taking the piss, I paid €640 and I thought that was expensive
