Now there's a first - somebody in the USA wants to go to Europe to do a flight training course.
The answer to your first part is "Yes" - it is possible to do the ground exams in one place and the flight in another (for professional licences - not PPL).
Problem is that the two contries need to have an agreement - and not all of them agree.
Suggest you send an explanation e-mail to
[email protected] and ask him about the agreement between UK and Spain. I would expect the answer to be yes (considering there is a UK school in Spain) but ask him.
Considered doing the distance learning through Bristol - the examinations in Florida or Michigan and then the flight training in Florida, Michigan or Texas/Arizona? May be even cheaper, you speak the language and you know the airspace.
