Cpt KC,

Your plan looks very much like the course OFT offer?

Phase 1
FAA Private Pilots

JAA ATPL Ground School - 24 Weeks

Phase 2
FAA Instrument Rating

Phase 3
Structured Hours Building

Phase 4
JAA Multi Commercial

Ground Instructor Time (50 Hrs)

So I wouldn't say you're doing anything new? But I can see the benefit and have thought of this route myself.

I did think of doing:

PPL with EFT/OFT

fly home

ATPL exams with BGS while in full time work and earning

fly back out there

FAA IR with OFT
JAA Multi-CPL with OFT

fly home

Convert my FAA IR to a JAA Multi-IR with Cabair (or in Spain - Aerodynamics).

Apply for the sponsored Instructor route at Cabair and work there for a year or two.

I could still do the above but I'm trying to look at as many different routes as possible. (looks like Cabair has pulled the plug on the sponsored FI but there are alternatives I'm sure).
