cheers for the info guys. I did my PPL (A) in the states, so I have experience of the uk and the US , with regards to the FAA/JAA licence, is there any difference in the training and cost, or is it a fairly similar sylabus, as I would really prefer the JAA licence as I will spend most time in europe and it will probably make life easier regarding hiring aircraft etc. Just out of interest are there many JAA US schools around?

I was reading somewhere that if you want to go commercial, you can skip the PPL and just do the commercial training instead? don't knnow how true this is but sounds a bit bizzare to me?
