Just to make it clear, I am NOT
wanting to do a FAA PPL, I am undertaking the JAA route, it is just that people I have met have asked why I don't go down the FAA route.
My personal feeling on the matter, is that full training should always be undertaken, especially when it involves flying complex twin turbine machines.
I asked the question to get other peoples views, not as a way of trying to short circuit the system.
