Thanks for the replies & PM's. Very helpful.
We haven't made up our minds yet where we'll be moving to exactly - wherever I can find a good instructor/ training school will be a factor obviously, but as my wife is a glassblower and wants to do an MA, that will factor in also. There are good glass schools in London, Edinburgh, & Farnham.
As for Wales, my wife is from there and we'd love to end up there eventually if we can, especially north Wales, but we realize getting jobs may be difficult up there. I know there are schools south Wales in Swansea & Cardiff but don't know much about them. I visited Fast Helicopters in Shoreham while living near there and it seemed a decent facility.
RT & airspace was my biggest concern, but I know that will come with a little practice. I got my licenses at HAI which is pretty darn simple airspace. Did my FAA IR which helped but I still feel like a relative novice on the radio.
Looking forward to the move and meeting some folks. Thanks again for the advice and the warm welcome.
oh, one more thing. One person mentioned about type. I have about 130 hours on the 300CB and 110 in the R22, but only have a JAA type rating for the 300CB at the moment. In any case, I\'d feel comfortable in either one, just would have to get the rating for the R22.
