That’s totally fair. I’ve just seen a lot of schools (usually in Florida) which cover the flying part for a lot of UKCAA / EASA schools. I was just curious if it was possible to also do ground school as well. I’m fairly new to this all so I can completely understand if it’s dumb question to begin with.

I asked a similar question on Reddit and one of the replies told me it would be much wiser to just finish my FAA ATPL (minus the 1500 hours) and then take all the UKCAA APTL exams and (convert?) my license over that way. It sounds like this could be the best option for me.
