I know I am opening a can of worms here, but it's back to the hour building on a fixed wing to build up hours thing. I was informed by a very experienced FI that I could do my FAA PPL(A), convert it to a PPL(H) FAA and then build hours towards my CPL (H) on the American licence on a fixed wing aircraft. I could then convert that to the JAR licence (as I live in the UK) The big advantage of this, apart from having a dual licence, is that it should save me a lot of money hour building, as fixed wing are obviously cheaper. I know everyone is saying Heli is more expensive and all that, but I am 18, and every penny I can save helps.
My question is, one, is it even possible? And two, is it in anyway an advantage or am I better just getting stuck into the Heli training on the JAR?
Cheers,
Josh.
