Fellas, Fellas, Please stop this crap. I've only been reading this forum for a while, But have been amazed by the amount of knowledge you blokes have, and now this! c'mon, here in the USA terminology is very different with regards to aviation and I'll have a hard time understanding some of the nomenclature and abbreviations you blokes use. I wouldn't expect to be chastised for it on this board, not by you lads!
I do the flight instructor game over here in the US, multi, instrument, and all the rest of it. I always thought of going back to Barrow-in-Furness and doing the JAA/ATPL, But you know, them 14 exams scare the hell outta me and quite frankly, I don't think I'd have a hope in hell of passing them. I'd love to teach in England, But it seems your JAA/PPL level of required knowledge is akin to my FAA/ATP level. We're only required to fly an ILS, Not, design and build one also.
This thread could have been of great assistance to me and other ex-pats, But alas, It isn't to be.
