Hope you dont mind me having a nose at your room !!!! I would love to become an instructor, I enjoy teaching people any new tasks and watching them achieve their goals as I am doing at the moment.
Having obtained a PPL(H) whats the next step to becoming an Instructor, only trouble is (no shouting please) I'm doing my PPL(H) in the USA. (The only reason for this is simply down to cost, even after flights, hotels and training, it's still about £3K less. ) Have had many conversations with helo pilots regarding the final licence but have found essentially its a FAA licence with night rating, but the school I will be training with is JAA approved so will obtain the JAA (JAR) licence as a piggy back off the FAA, just need to continue with the CAA class 2 and FAA class 3 medicals.

With all this in mind (and no shouting about the USA training) what do you think my plan should be.

Many Thanks
