US JAR PPL Holder - Average instructor hours on return??
Hello All
I have just received my PPL licence in the post from the CAA.
Ahem, although I wanted to train in the UK, I trained in the US because none of the UK schools I contacted could guarantee 3 weeks of good weather (obviously). Annual leave is a big problem for me and I couldn't afford to have days off wasted with postponed lessons.
I feel that during the 3 weeks I was mostly operating on the edge of my experience/knowledge. I know that I'm better than some students that I saw, but that I still have alot to learn, especially regarding RT etc.
Now that I am home I want to fly here. In your experience what is the average length of time required to get US trained PPL holders up to speed for UK flying.
Are there any common problems US trained people have??
I appreciate that it is difficult to comment without seeing me fly, I'm just looking for a few pointers to mull over whilst waiting for my first flight.
best regards
