I'm reading this thread because someday I may convert my US certificates to UK certificates. But I'm always seeing the phrase "JAA Standard training'. Is this a dig at the FAA 'sub-standard training'? Or just a new British term?
Maybe I should tell all the passengers on my jet that I have sub-standard FAA training and maybe they shouldn't be taking their lives in their hands on an aircraft with a sub-standard FAA Captain?
I have one obversation:
When I was a flight instructor, about a million years ago, in Las Vegas. We'd get Brit pilots comming over and renting Cessnas to toodle around the area. Many of the Brits were pretty bad sticks. Couldn't recognize an engine failure on takeoff in a light twin. Couldn't get out of a spin in a 152. (The spins were self induced because of failure to recover from a stall).
Sorry to be negative. Just reacting to the JAA Standard remark.
Be safe.
