Re: FAA IR Conversion to JAA Multi IR in UK
Assuming you meant to say UK £25,000 (and not US$) then this is about the price I paid for my CPL/IR and ME here in the UK. (Not including ATPL exams, nor any hr building and course was done in minimum hrs).
So, if there is some reason why you want your FAA licence, then there seems little point doing it in the US then converting.
