invalid JAA ppl to FAA ppl
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if you could kindly help me.
To fill you in with my past experience, I've a JAA PPL (H) / 70hours R22 / passed JAA ATPL Theory. But I have not flown for around 7 to 8 years and my PPL beame invalid in 2006 (type rating invalid 2003)
My plan was to arrive at Bristow Academy in August to get up to speed with things again. Hopefully, starting the FAA IR course in September and following through to CFII, to then convert to JAA accordingly via a modular route.
The problem being,
If I revaildated my JAA PPL with Bristow Academy once I arrived. Will I have to wait 3 months before commencing the FAA IR course in order to process the paperwork to obtain a FAA PPL?
or on the other hand,
If I simply started again from the beginning on the FAA PPL course, which probably isn't a bad idea considering I'm quite rusty. Would it be possible to skim through it cheaply considering I already have the hours, or would I have to obtain all FAA approved course training hours?
thank you for your time
Jon
