Thanks FFF saved me saying that :o)
Billiebob, yes I am aware of the rules regarding flying on an FAA licence but was answering in context of Kulas original statement in that he wanted a JAA PPL at the end of it. In which case he can come back to the UK and apply for a JAA one on his return, just as we are able to pop down to an FSDO in the US and get an FAA PPL.
