Hello all,
UK PPL(A) here (not current) 53.15TT 18.20 PIC. Class 1 medical.
The FAA IR process seems like a winner to me as mentioned by rudestuff - I have relatives recently moved to LA as a bonus.
The flight schools websites are very poor IMO about what they offer and ideas of costs. I suppose the question is, how easy is it?
Is there much pre-reading and familiarisation with US airspace needed or is it best to jump in and follow the instructors lead?
Any recommended schools in the US that people have used?
To rudestuff in particular, if I get current in the UK, would you say I’m in an ideal place hours wise to go for the FAA IR with the 50hours time building (or is having the PPL already locking me in the UK). I’d look to do a night rating before heading over.
Thanks for any help,
B
