What you need is a mixture
If you are British you need a JAA License to work in the EU.....
Should you not be restricted cash wise then this is what I would do. This is totally off the top of my head and Ive had a beer.
PPL UK whilst still working - on day of skill test resign
Or to speed things along do an FAA PPL but anglisize it properly upon your return
Hourbuilding UK 15 hours
Ok total time now is 70 hours
launch off to US 80 hours in one month starting on cherokees, progressing to retractable wobbly prop singles, then do a twin rating (within the 80 hours)
Back to blighty
Total time (TT) is now approx 150 hours do residential ATPL exam s at oxford - pass all ATPL exams first time
!!!!!
launch back to US, do a multi - instrument rating after a bit of post ATPL exam R & R
have UK multi/IMC issued on UK ppl
Back to blighty, do CPL course - Pass GFT
Do instructors rating - teach through 1/2 a winter and 1/2 a summer.
back to USA **** through FAA CFI course dead easy (why shortly!)
and 10-12 hours Multi /IR revision with an instructor
back to UK - Multi IR module completed
back to USA - do commercial flight test & 1 ground exam (piece of **** after ATPL's)
So you now have an
FAA CPL/IR with Multi/instructors rating
JAA CPL/IR with an FI (R)
Choice of work is as follows:
Uk Instructor - derestrict FIR and do an IRI/Multi instructors course. Charge £100.00 a go for FAA BFR's in the uk
