Smile just starting ppl

Hi Everyone

I'm new to all of this so if I don't come up with the correct lingo, I'll make my apologies now.

Since I was a kid I wanted to fly. Now, at 43, I'm going to do it. The other half is treating me so here I go.

Having looked at many options, one of the best is for us to take a Holiday in the USA and combine it with the PPL. We have stayed on Orlando before and know the areas where the flight schools are, which helps.

Q.. Is it possible to do the training in both countries.. UK & USA ?? Theory in UK and practical in the USA.

Reason being we won't be going to the USA until Nov this year and 10 months is a long time unless it can be used to an advantage.

Are there any disadvantages of doing it in the USA and how and what conversions would be needed to use the license in the UK and Europe??

Finally, Books. Which..what and from where ???

Many thanks for your time and sorry if I've gone on a bit

Regards

Andy
