Thanks Head Bolt.
That's a lot easier than I thought it would be and it makes good sense.

Some more questions please if I'm not pushing my luck to far.

Can I do the FAA exams here?
What are the best books to get?
Are there any FAA ground schools in England?


FAA CPL(H) questions --
I've heard that FAA exams are more practical than CAA exams because they concentrate on what you need to know and not stuff you'll never use.
Are the FAA CPL ground exams a lot more difficult than the FAA PPL exams?

Some people have told me if I'm going to do the FAA license I might as well go for a CPL. I'd never want to use a CPL to work but it could be worth it just to learn more and be a safer pilot.

Is the FAA CPL flight test a lot more difficult than the FAA PPL test?

Anyone know?


Thanks in advance.
