call me sceptical but...

able to do the JAA IR here
No doubt for JAA prices as well. Its a right con really, you end up doing *part* of an FAA IR, for JAA prices (minus a few quid). After all you're flying to the US standards, our brothers over the pond won't tell you "you're down wind for the ILS" "You're now on Base for the ILS"......"Intercept the localizer and report established"......"Continue"......."Descend with the Glideslope"......ya de ya de ya.......You'll get a "turnrightheading210clearedfortheILS24approach,contactthetow eratdeazy...seeyer".

You'd be better off doing an FAA IR for $5000, and converting IMHO. A CPL/IR conversion course should cost the average punter about 7 grand, and this is factoring in a few extra hours above the minimum required to get up to speed apparently.......
