FAA ticket
Howdy,
Gotta pitch in with jumpseater on this one. Av2000 course very,very dated. Useful for someone with zero knowledge or experience if they want an intro but there is little comparison with FAA licence. Then again there is little comparison in price either. 400£ is roughly 750$, you wont get much for that in the US. A typical fulltime course with a good school will cost you about 5'000$ plus accommodation expenses for 2 months plus food plus roundtrip air ticket plus taking 2 months off work so throw in the loss of earnings for that period spent not working. All in, between money spent and money not earned you've got yourself one expensive endeavour. I know an pilot licence is much more detrimental to the bank balance but it's all relative. Thing is though the FAA ticket will take you anywhere. Those who dont agree, dont have one! I do know a much cheaper way to gain your FAA but dont wanna broadcast it openly so if you want to know more send me a pm. Dont worry, it's nothin illegal or screwy.
