Hi Boing7117,

I've never heard of this rating and I'm particularly interested to know how you manage to achieve a nght rating that is valid in both the UK and Europe as a PPL.

I have recently instructed two students who have recently gained JAR licences in the states. In both cases they need at least 4-5 hours instruction to bring them up to speed on UK procedures before I would consider signing them off. Naturally they are a little dissappointed at this additional expense. It seems to me that the only saving in learning in the states is time, as the generally better weather allows people to complete in 4 weeks or so. Thats fine but it does not give any appreciation of flying in UK weather.

My advice is if you want to fly in the UK then learn in the UK. If your considering going commercial then I'm sure the states is a good bet for hour building.

hope this helps

cheers
