Flying in the US (UK PPL)
Hi all.
I'm heading to Michigan this September and am considering doing some flying while I'm there.
I hold a UK issued JAA-PPL and from searching it seems the easiest way to fly in the states is to get myself a FAR 61.75 cert.
This will mean I don't have to worry about TSA clearance, medicals or visas, or specifying an FBO before I go. I was initially considering getting my night rating while I'm there, but I don't think FAR 61.75 will let me do this as it involves training?
Ensuring adequite insurance seems to be something to watch out for as well. Anything in particular I need to be looking for?
Obviously it will depend on the FBO, but it seems I shouldn't count on headsets being provided?
Lastly, as I've not flown in the states I'd like to get a feel for how things work over there, such as flight following, air space etc. Can anyone recommend any reading material?
Many thanks my naive comments, just want to make sure I've not missed anything!
