What do you mean with "the ir must be current"?
Next February the first 6 months of my FAA IR currency will expire, and i'll enter the phase i need a safety pilot to keep it on currency.
If i'll start my conversions in April and I'll fly with a JAA instructor on a G marked airplane (maybe also spanish, i don't know yet), can i consider my FAA IR regularly current?
It's very difficoult i'll find a November airplane before february to avoid this situation. Can you guys explain me better the issue and suggest me the options i can have?
Last but not least, i'm finishing the ATPL ground school at the OAA, then i'll start to convert my licenses. do you think the Bristol Aviation is a good school where to complete my training or can be better to spend my money in some more expensive school (Flight Training Europe or Gestair)? I have PPL IR and CPL MEP FAA.
