Good to see your back in there Red.
You are the guru on all things JAR conversion.
Reds right, it's definately worth it and heed the advice. I listened to her a long time ago and everything said was spot on.
I did my conversion for the theory at Bristol ground school by distance learning whilst I was still flying in Oz and went to UK for the brush up courses and exams then came back 3 weeks later and did the 2nd module. I then went back and did the 2nd lot of exams (and 1 repeat ooops
) then started the flying training. It was 15hrs in a duchess for me. This was pretty much the same hourly rate as a citation in Oz. Took me 2 years to clean my slate and now Im away.
You will need to work very very hard and fast. It all took me just under a year.
If you dont have right to live and work you better marry that lady of yours asap.
unless of course you already are
