Yes it will be a frozen ATPL until I logged those hours. Till then it will be a CPL(H) + IR.
So the latest I should go is June or after November to skip thunderstorm season.
Any insight about FAA IR(SE) on a R22 in the US ?

Yes the west side (oregon) is also an option. I have to look into the weather for august there.
But for real mountain time, I need a mountain course I think? If I do that there, then that will be an FAA mountain course and I haven't looked into it if I can convert that to EASA.
And about play, flying comes first in every way !. So I want to get the most out of every hour I fly during hourbuilding.
Night rating, R44, mountain course and maybe something else I haven't thought of yet but I think that's best to do in an EASA state since I will have an EASA license.
