Hi all,
I understand this topic has been discussed here on countless occasions but still I cannot find any reliable figures as to how many hours of training are needed on average to convert a FAA IR to JAA.
LASORS states that a ICAO IR holder would have to receive a minimum of flying instruction of 15 hours prior to taking the IR skills test. I find this pretty tempting as it seems to offer some serious savings. Numerous posts here however indicate that most people require way more hours. In fact, I have been recently told by a chief flight instructor that the average student takes twice as much which would make that route even more expensive than going JAA right from the start. So, to get a more trustworthy figure it would be great if those of you who have done a FAA-IR-to-JAA conversion could state how many hours you needed.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
