Thank you
Thanks for the very informative answers everyone, much appreciated.
Whopity, I should have said that I have a current JAR UK issued licence so that, from what I understand, is a straight swap for the EASA licence? I'm going to renew my IR on a SEP to keep my UK JAR licence; after I've renewed that particular rating I'll renew my FI ticket. Really enjoying it & looking forward to it but, wow, has it ever got expensive back in Blighty!
Another question: can US flight schools conduct PPL training on an LSA or VLA typed aircraft? I was reading somewhere that certification was approved in Europe for such aircraft but not in the USA? I ask the question because I regularly layover in LAX & the cost is so much cheaper than in Britain.
Sapco2, I hear you but sitting in the cruise for hour after hour is no fun for me anymore, it's just that I could never afford to give up my day job but, yes, I still do get a buzz from aeroplanes & I wouldn't want to do anything else. I love aviation: it's given me everything & now, perhaps I'd like to put something back.
