Thanks for the info....
I guess the best thing for me to do is gain some cheap(er) twin time and experience by completing my my ME IR and ME CPL here in the US.
Then return to the UK and complete the dreaded ATPL writtens, then go ahead a do the conversions.
12 months away from flying for the exams is also a worry for me......
Assuming I sail through the ATPL writtens is it possible to do the JAA Multi-engine Class Rating at the same time as the JAR ME CPL, thereby reducing the total hours required? Is it possible to do both in the 6 hours required for the ME Class Rating?
Any advice for the best schools in the UK for the writtens and then the conversion flying?
Thanks again.
