Hi Socal,
Thanks for this information about Part 141 and SEVIS, I did not understand that those were two different things!
Now, about by JAA PPL I don't give up. I spent a lot of time working on it and I'm sure that as long as I live in Europe it is better to have the JAA PPL.
I succeded ALL the knowledge tests, and I have about 50 hours flight training. We are working on the naviagation part now and I've done one nav in solo.
I want to go the US because:
1)I am kind of fed up waiting ( I don't even know what I am waiting for....). Instructors here seem to believe that you have to work on your PPL for about at list one year and a half-two years.
2) I want to have a different experience.
3) I need to feel that people around me have the same motivation and I hope that in an accelerated program I will find that.
I want to have a FAA training in the US because:
1)If it is possible to have a FAA certificate in 4 -5 weeks then why not?
2)Once I come back, I will continue the JAA PPL.
Until then I need to see things moving!!!!
What about a flying school over there? do you have a good one in mind?
