Well I would have thought that as long as all the places you train at are fully approved by the JAA for whatever course you're doing, then it shouldn't be a problem ... otherwise what's the point of JAA at all?. .. .In practice of course, the internal JAA politics thing means it's all pointless anyway. In a nutshell, the UK CAA recognize certain US schools for the issue of JAR licences, but the French and their continental brethren won't recognize JAA licences issued by self same US schools.. .. .If your long term plan is to work in the UK, then as long as you can verify that the UK CAA have approved your school for JAR purposes then it should be no problem chopping and changing between schools. If, however, you want to work in mainland Europe, then don't touch any school outside of Europe (ie in USA / Australia, / South Africa etc) until the whole mess gets sorted out by the European politicians. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" />
