Hi,. .If you just want a PPL then you can fly day VFR on any ICAO PPL in Britain providing the aircraft is registered in the UK and you don't fly out of the UK.. . To convert the ICAO PPL to a JAR PPL requires all the ground exams, any flying training as required by the FTO doing your conversion and radio license and Skill test
unless you have 100 hours P1 in which case you must do the JAR air law exam, the radio license and a skill test only. For confirmation check out the CAA website.. .. .There are plenty of schools in SA and US that will do you a cheap PPL and if you want to go further than just a basic PPL look at Progress Flight Academy's Modular One course. They were one of a few schools that got only positive feedback from a search on this site.. .43 Air Academy in SA have also got a good rep'. .. .Try a search under FTC, Progress and 43 Air Academy to see for yourself.. .. .I'll be putting a post up in July when I get back from Progress after the Modular One course.(That's if my "%@&ing study visa ever arrives!). .Email me if you want the research I've done but do check the search here and on the CAA website..... .. .Regards Rodders <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />. . . . <small>[ 20 March 2002, 23:07: Message edited by: Rodders ]</small>
