how to get an FAA PPL as European
Hi All
I v got an N reg plane, am living in Belgium
I would like to go for an FAA PPL licence.
Has anybody gone this route before?
Is it absolutely necessary to travel to the US ?
My idea was/is to get some flying lessons here, 30-40 hours, of course allways with an instructor present, basically I want to learn to fly here. Then go to the US and get it all sorted out in a flying school, do the minimum hours and the exams. I know this is the more expensive route but unfortunately I cannot afford to go to the US for a three week period (or more)
What can I do over here? Is it possible to get a medical FAA done in Europe?
I assume some flying schools will offer computer based programs for the theory so that I can do that from home.
Was thinking of going to a Texas flying school, what are your experiences, who to go to??
Thanks for your info
Ronny
