ou cannot do a JAA/EASA IR in the USA, only in a JAR/EASA state. You can however do a JAR/EASE PPL/CPL out in the USA. Most schools who sub-contract out the training to the US do the PPL/CPL over there along with perhaps an FAA IR and then do the JAR/EASA IR back in Euro-land.

So with the new IR situation they could do the lot there adding the EASA CPL but with an FAA IR and purely convert the IR with a flight test and oral on return?
