I'm thinking of taking 6 months off work to go and train at Helicopter Adventures in the U.S. to do the JAA/FAA modular CPL(H) course. This will, once passed, give me a JAA and FAA CPL(H)with an FAA FI rating. The plan is to then instruct and possibly gain the CFII rating over the next 18 months and return to the U.K. with approx 800-1000 hours and a valid UK JAA CPL(H). The course is to ATP standards on the written exams. Just wondering if anyone had done something similar or heard of anyone doing this and what are the F.I. job prospects in the U.S. after the initial 6 months and the prospects in the U.K. if I attained the 800-1000 hours.
Another one in need of guidance!!!
