I have current passes in all seven JAA PPL exams. I have UK CAA class 2
medical. I don't yet have the R/T practical. I have five hours of recent
practical flight training (EGKB). For reasons of deteriorating winter
weather and cost, I am thinking of doing the JAA PPL practical flight
training overseas.
I'm interested in comments and suggestions, pros/cons of going this route.
I can consider any country / location.
If done in the USA, is an FAA medical required?
How difficult is it to get permission to do the flight training in the USA?
and does the permission take long to get?
Are there major differences in procedures and methods of working UK to USA
that might be problematic?
The only exam that I would need is R/T practical. Would this be done in the
USA or on return in the UK?
Prices I have seen for JAA PPL training in the USA include some element of
ground school but I already have the exams. Has anyone here been in this
situation? I am exam'd out at the moment and am not particularly keen on
taking further exams e.g. FAA PPL (don't know how difficult it is)
Thanks
