the JAA/EASA concept is nothing else but a money milking system
I'll just stick with that.....
The amount of money you have to lay out to do anything in JAR land is rediculous.....
From the price of courses, exam fees, initial medical fee, IF training on twins...etc etc

and there is very little difference in the end result... we all learn to fly roughly the same way, we all do the same exams roughly the same - learning from question banks/books, we all fly in IF the same, in England, America, or Hong Kong.....but you better start saving, because you have to pay to learn how to do it "the same" in JAR land.
And forget about a validation..... JAR is too good for the rest of the world!
