2BN2, 421C & Shunter ... Thanks for clearing that up.
Plan is to possibly fly 20hrs or so after gaining the PPL by the end of the summer (Say 70hr TT) Then do a Night Rating shortly followed by an IMC (Anther 20+ hrs added to the log book) I'll then fly as many IFR fights as possible on some long X/C flights while doing the ATPL GS.
I guess I just need to make sure that I fly the FAA-IR pre-requisites before booking my ticket to the states.
I'm just hoping I'll find the JAA CPL and MEIR a little easier (and cheaper) after the FAA IR.
