"By the way the test standards of the FAA system are higher than the JAA,"
Absolute nonsense. It depends on the individual examiner.
"and a FAA PPL is basically the same as a JAA CPL, flying wise! "
Again, not true. The FAA PPL is not at all like a JAA CPL. JAA CPL test has an OS track crawl, a 1:250,000 track crawl, downwind quickstops, vertical takeoff, instrument flying, touchdown auto. FAA PPL test has none of these.
I suggest you look at the
CAA standards documents on the caa website and look at the
FAA Practical Test Standards books.
