Now we're getting somewhere, emerging pattern noticed.
Of course savvy ones among us have realised it leads to a cost effective way of getting a full IR(H) and a whole host of extra qualifications along the way
Ahh, please do elaborate further!
Something along the line of deliberately getting a FAA-IR(H), progressing/rewriting it into an EIR and adding the missing bits
to a full IR(H). How much would one save that way?
I've no clue but for a FAA-IR don't a need a FAA-PPL first?
And what extra qualification were you referring to?
