faa ir
hi everybody
is there anyone willing to share their experiance of doing an faa me rating and an faa ir conversion to a jaa me/ir, whats is the difference,how many hours did it take you, if you were back again would you do it?
the reason why i ask ,i did my cpl training from scratch in the uk which cost me a lot of money,a heck a lot of money, went over hours with the bad weather.i have just returned from the states where i finished off my hour building to reach the magic 100 hours pic before i start the multi engine and ir.
after being in the states and experiancing how aviation friendly it is and cheap. i am reconsidering doing my me and faa ir there and doing a conversion on return to the uk.if i put £5000 aside out of £12500 for the conversion , £7000 would go a long ways in the states.
i really cant see any disadvantages?
what i would spend in the uk i would get double the hours in the usa .
the training is just as good , having watch their instructers at work in the sims
better weather, busier airports ,more atc comm
less time spent training
if you have done your me/ir training in usa i would be interested in your opinions.
cheers macflea
