I think that the only CAA-approved schools for JAR/FCL PPL training 'not in a JAA member state' are 2 in the US and 1 in Seth Efrika. If you do go overseas, remember that your Flight Instructor must now meet JAR requirements for your hours to count. Otherwise, when your logbook is received by the CAA it won't take long for them to finds that he/she isn't on their database, hence you won't have finished training, hence the Skill Test will have been invalid..... .. .Be very careful indeed if you are thinking of going to the US! And remember that most flying clubs back here won't let you hire an ac until you meet their requirements for flying in the UK's different airspace etc - usually an extra 10 hours or so will be needed...... . . . <small>[ 09 March 2002, 10:59: Message edited by: BEagle ]</small>
