Training
I am thinking of undertaking training for a commercial course but am not sure as to where to do it. Currently my leaning is towards going to the States to do this on a J-1 visa which allows 24 months for training and working as a flight instructor. the major benefit i see in doing this is the availability of low hour work for flight instructors with 1000hrs piston being acheivable within the 24 months.
I realise that the quality of instruction in the States is not as likely to be as good as in the UK because the people teaching are less experienced. The company i am currently training with in the UK reakon that the FAA qualifications do not produce good pilots, however the cynic in me thinks this might be more to do with wanting my custom than objective evaluation of the FAA vs JAA.
Could someone shed some light on the differences between the FAA and the JAA and also what opportunities there are for low hour pilots in the UK?
