ME IR CPL training under JAA syllabus

Guys,

Thanks a lot for giving me the hint about the IR, which can't be trained in the US. This has changed my whole planning. I do also agree that the training quality and experience you gain in Europe is higher than flying in a sunny wide free airspace, though some areas in the US are congested too, and you find lots of small airports near international ones.

Moreover, according to the list on the CAA's website, there are 5 JAA approved flight schools in the US for fixed-wing pilot training. After the training, you don't need to convert except the IR with 15 extra hrs in a JAA airspace.

I have now a good offer from a german flight school for ME/IR/CPL with about 20k euros. I'm checking too with Stapleford for their offer. But I'm still considering the possibility to do at leat the ME in the US.

Could you please provide me with the sources, out of which I can get all detailed infos for ME/IR/CPL in the USA?
