I can of course do it here but given the time of year there are a lot of no fly days and the four hr round trip to the airfield doesn't help.
So my question is, is anyone aware of a US school that can do the UK CAA CPL and would tailor one so that it could be done in a condensed timescale?
Yes there are a few schools in the US where you can do the CPL. But I would suggest your get your IR first. If you're proficient then you can just sit the test via the 50 hour CBIR route. It'll knock your CPL down from 25 hours to 15 hours.
