PPL and hour building in the USA vs UK
Hi all!
Before I start my PPL I need to make sure I make the right choice... I'm working full time in London but I believe I can get 4-6 weeks of unpaid time off, i.e. to fly to the US.
If I was to do my PPL in the USA:
1) Is it in fact cheaper?
2) Would I eventually need to convert the FAA PPL to an EASA PPL?
3) Can I do the CAA Initial Class 1 here before I go? Or do I need to complete an FAA Initial Class 1 in the US?
4) I looked at getting an EASA PPL in the USA just because the weather is better and I would rather be there, but the flyaaa flight school in San Diego has some pretty bad reviews. Can you recommend an EASA flight school in the US?
5) If I get an EASA PPL here in the UK, how can I hour-build later on in the USA if I need an FAA PPL to do that?
Thanks a lot for your help and apologies for the nooby questions. :-)
