Re: FAA IR Conversion to JAA Multi IR in UK

Hi
Am starting my FAA IR conversion at Bristol flying centre on Feb 6th.
Have been up there to see them and the set up is really good.
The cost of the 15 hour conversion course is around the £3300 mark, which includes groundschool 5 hours in Seneca and 10 hours in FNPT 2.
I did my FAA IR about 4 years ago so i am pretty rusty so have allowed for at least another 10 hours in the seneca at £350 a pop, then aircraft for test at another £500 minimum, then the dreaded £637 CAA fee, which actually brings the cost to around £8000(if i get 1st time pass?).All pretty frightening really!
Whoever said it was cheaper to go down the ICAO licence conversion route??
