Study and take the JAA exams prior to the FAA flight training in the States, hence no delay between finishing FAA ratings and conversion in Europe.
Do you mean study and take the 7 JAA PPL exams at a local flying school before heading to a US flight school for an FAA PPL? ... I'm a little confused?

Although the idea of doing my 7 JAA PPL exams locally and then only having to concentrate on flying in the US for a JAA PPL does sound appealing.

I'm already hooked on the idea of FAA licences and ratings and then converting them, sounds like some great flying and a great life experience as an FI in the the US.

Is it possible to do the FAA PPL exam and Oral before going to the US? Am I wrong in thinking it can/could be done at Flight Safety in Farnborough?

Thanks.
