Can I convert my JAA CPL/IR to FAA
I have held my JAA CPL/IR for a while now, but I am currently thinking of becoming a flight instructor.
I am thinking of teaching either in the US, Spain or the north of England. Obviously if I want to instruct in the latter two I will need my JAA FI(R), but what do I need in the US? Can I simply convert my CPL/IR to FAA, then take the US FI, or do I need to do all the FAA flight tests and exams.
Also, how will UK schools/airlines view my hours if I am an FAA instructor? Even if I get a few hundred hours instructing IFR on twins will it be worthless?
Another query, I know the FI(R) course in Spain is slightly different too, in the fact that they don't teach spins. But would a UK flight school accept my licence if I achieved it in Spain?
Many thanks.
