I think you will find that a JAA IR has to be done within a European member country. This has been discussed previously in the forums
Not Correct;
FlyEASA did have approval for the JAA MEIR course earlier this year. The training was done in the USA and testing was completed at their test centre in Leeds.
I completed a lot of my training at EASA, When Stephen Fisher was the Head of Training. I cant comment on it now as he is no longer with the school, So I dont think a comment I make now would accurately reflect the School at this moment in time.
Aircraft were in good shape, Maintenance was good & Instructors were excellent in my time.
Hope this helps!
