.........just been in discussions with school in England to propose the idea of me taking the PPL theory exams in the UK (at their club) and then going to the US to do the flying. As you can imagine they went on to describe the pros and cons of the US JAA scheme which consisted mainly of cons!……
Now of course I took this with a bucket of salt, (marketing to attract a prospective student) but they did point out that it may take up to 10 hours supervised flight before I could go solo once back in Britain?!. Due partly to the fact that US PPL students are not proficient in the use of radio and comms etc. and that if I was to go further then it would be better to have a British taught PPL.
My question is; do I need to take more or less salt with this assertion??.
PS. Those I spoke to were more than pleasant and did give me some good advice which I have seen on here. So..errr…keep up the good work.
