Richard,
Sorry to burden you with even more USA questions on what is becoming the ‘Ask Richard Show’!
What is the current situation over there with regards to schools teaching the JAA PPl syllabus? As we are all aware, there was much sabre rattling when JAR was introduced in respect of training out-with member States. There was the suggestion that non-member states, such as the USA would have to use instructors who had a JAA instructors rating.
It would appear that the above has not yet been fully implemented. If it were, what would schools like your own do?
I would imagine that Visas would be easier to come by, as you would not be taking work from US nationals and were bringing revenue to the USA. Given that scenario, would UK instructors have to have an FAA CPL/IFR if they were only to teach JAA PPL’s? or, would conversion to FAA CPL only suffice?
Frankly, the idea of spending the winter months instructing in the US has tremendous appeal!!
Thanks
