Just one thing: If you decide to go to the USA for training, be very, very careful in selecting your flying school. I am just re-training a young man for a JAR-FCL license who recently finished his US CPL/IFR. His theoretical knowledge and flying skills are so extremely poor, that he has to do at least 80 percent of the JAR syllabus again, which means that he will have spent his money twice in the end. There still seem to been schools in the US, that take your money, but give you nothing in return except a stamped piece of paper!
Hey there! Would you mind listing a decent batch of flightschools? Or maybe list the ones to watch out for, if that would be a shorter list. Also, would you suggest joining a flight club and training for your PPL as a good supplement, but go to a uni for the CPL?
