Re: FAA IR Conversion to JAA Multi IR in UK
I would advise anyone with a CAA issued JAA licence who has a FAA IR to give the UK a wide berth. I went to Spain and did a 15 hour conversion for 5K Euro/GBP3500 which included Test Fees, aircraft hire for the test.
You don't get the sneering attitude towards your FAA licences and the test is not the overkill it is in the UK and its a lot cheaper. The weather plays ball even in the Winter and I had mine done in 8 Days.
Note that this only applies to a CAA blue book. No other authority allows an hours reduction as far as I am aware of.
