USA CPL IR FI validity in the UK
Apologies in advance if this has been done to death on this forum, but when I searched I couldn’t find the answer I was looking for. Anyway….
Presently I have a JAR PPL with night & IMC ratings (and an AOPA aeros rating) with 400+ hours pic.
I started to do my CPL in the UK with the goal of becoming a flying instructor.
I have do not wish to do an ATPL as I don’t want to do passenger flying per se, I just want to instruct.
I have recently been transferred to work in the USA.
I am looking at doing a CPL / IR / FI course over here (at half the cost of the UK).
The advice I seek is, if I successfully gain the FAA qualifications over here, on my return to the UK, what will I need to do in order to become a UK flying instructor (SEP)?
Are the FAA quals valid back in Blighty?
