Having gained first hand experience of US training, before commenting further, those who claim that US training is second rate should try the FAA/IR in the Los Angeles basin. It is certainly an experience for me, I have never experienced such busy airspace. Certainly my PPL training in Class G airspace was not exactly adequate preparation for this! The UK IMC rating is like a holiday compared to the FAA/IR.
WWW. What exactly is your sum experience of flying in the USA?
