My plan is to
- Get an EASA Class 2 Medical in the UK
- Get the ground exams done in the UK
- Head off to the USA
- Get the FAA Class 3 Medical in the USA
- Aquire the 42 hours training in the USA
- Come back to the UK and do 3 hours orientation training
- Take my practical test in the UK
Is this a particular bad plan?
Impossible plan.
There are schools in the US that you can do the whole lot. But you will have to jump through some hoops to get visa's and security clearances.
And it is possible to do a PPL in 3 weeks in the UK my record up in Inverness was two weeks with a guy that turned up with all his ground exams completed and RT test already done. At about this time of year.
And looking at todays wx its 5 knots of wind down the runway with over 10k of viz which will more than likey be 30-40km wit a few clouds about. Which is perfect teaching wx.
