PPL training abroad.
Hi all,
I'm new to flying after doing a recent 30 min trial flight I'm looking to do my PPL either at an airfield local to me or somewhere in the U.S.
I don't know too much about the subject to be honest so I'd like to pick a few brains to hopefully help me make up my mind whether to do the training locally to me or go abroad and do it.
I want to do it in the U.S. for the experience but above that I want the best training I can get and I don't know if the U.S. is the best place to get a jaa licence.
If I go to the U.S. and do it, will the licence have to be converted when I return to the UK?
What are the pros and cons of learning abroad compared to learning in the UK?
I have more enthusiasm than knowledge right now so a lot of the websites such as UKFT only confuse me with phrases like 'jaa compliant' (what the hell does that mean?) The UKFT site got me excited until I saw this and spotted numerous spelling mistakes....
At the moment I'm quite lost in a fog of acronyms and marketing. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Paul.
