I did my ppl in florida and also my time building and when i started my cpl back in Ireland i was completely lost as there is a lot of difference between both places so i was sorry that i went to america and should have spent the time here and learnt what i really need to know as it took a lot of time to learn the basics and when you are flying a twin at nearly 500 quid an hour you would want to make good use of the time instead of learning the basics again.
