One chap who went out there 4 years ago gained his ppl there, came back and wont go up without an instructor because he says the it is completely different!! Theres nothing wrong with doing a few hours with an instructor when you get back, it still works out a lot cheaper!

One more thing (PROMISE!!) If I do my ppl in florida what is the pass rate like?? I dont want to spend all that money and then fail!!
Theres no promises, it's down to you whether you pass or not but surely that will be the same in the US or the UK!

I would imagine that with 30 hours in the UK already done you should be ok with flying here after the US, just remember the UK mantra "we fly circuits and knit patterns"
