PPL Florida - visa etc
Hi,
I want to do my PPL (JAA) in Florida.
Do I necessarily need an M1 student visa? I am a German citizen, employed with a US company and sometimes travel to the US for business. I could argue that the MAIN purpose of my stay is not the PPL. Does anybody have any experience with this? As the visa process is rather lengthy, I would like to avoid it..
Furthermore, what are your recommendations re the "right" school for a JAA license? So far I know about European Flight Training, Orlando Flight Training (OFT), Ormond Beach (OBA) and Naples.
Thanks in advance!
Julian
