I would just like some advice!
1)Would it be a waste of money or should I also do the FAA IR(single engine) aswell and convort it once Im back in Europe?Because Once I return ill only be flying R22/44's as Instructor probaly! And because of this Ive been told the IR would be too expencive to maintain?
2)Should I also do the 5hr Turbine transition course on the B206? Or save my money for an R22/R44 type rating for when I get back..?
The reason im mentioning money so much is that Im only 18 and have to borrow every penny to pay for my training??
Thanks for the advice Guys,
Sean.
If you are going on a J-visa and hope to get a job, you will need to do the FAA IR.
I would pass on the turbine transition.
