Which PPL in USA?
I am looking to do a PPL course between 15th July and 10th August as cheap as possible. Please could people suggest a school for me, bearing in mind the following:
I would like a JAA PPL preferably but could do a FAA one and convert it back in the UK if possible and practical.
I am currently crew for the major british airline and will be traveling on a standby ticket which may cause problems going to Florida at peak times. UKFT in Lancaster is an option if the FAA license is easy enough to convert.
Naples Air Centre is fully booked for July.
Accomodation does not have to be 5*, just acceptable and as close as possible to the school.
I would like to be able to fly occasionally in the UK but also hour build in the USA. Do most UK flying schools allow aircraft to be used by FAA PPL holders? If I was to convert a license would it just be a case of doing a skill test, the written exams, RT test and medical? Would all my hours be taken into account? Would my JAA license be valid if I did not maintain the FAA one?
Any help would be very much appreciated as I'm looking to book in the next few days and am completely lost!
