Again, thanks for all the responses. Much appreciated.
Looking into the possiblity of doing the PPL abroad (JAR or to convert FAA). Information from some of the websites seems slightly hazy. Can someone clear up the course structure of such schemes.
As for instance the time structure. It may be possible for me to get up to a month off work (hmmm...really?..maybe if I beg and scrape!). If this was the case would I have to do the groundschool via distance learning in he UK before I left for the US/SA and would it be possible to do the flying in the time allotted (weather permitting)?.
Thanks
