Thank you for your reaction.
I understand that a larger amount of hours is required to convert a FAA PPL in a JAA PPL, but there aren't lots of flying schools in the US who provide JAA PPL courses, specially not in the region I am interested in.
I've planned to go to Texas because I'm more familiar with the place. The only possibility would be a FAA PPL then. Do you think the KNVVL knows more about 'convertion'?
The biggest 'problem' would indeed be the accomodation and the number of men so I'm looking for trustworthy housing.
BTW, good and very useful articles
