FAA compared to JAR
I am about to start studying again to get back my pilots licence. But on reading a little and talking to one or two people I am now very confused. Why would I want to do a JAR qualification? It appears to me that for all practical reasons The FAA licence seems to be better in just about every way.
For instance I am getting my licence back after some years. I now have to sit all my papers again, believe me a lot more than I did sixteen years ago. I might like to move to an instrument rating, I understand that it is very difficult to get as a private pilot.
This is very sad as I would generally chose European in every way.
