Or shall I join a less expensive faa school in the u.s build hours and do the conversion in Europe after that? But how does it work in australia, Is there something similar? And any schools to recommend? Frankly the license does not matter as all are accepted in my country as long as i finish with the written atpl exams. If you have any other suggestions or any other paths to follow I'm all ears.
Thank you.
Hi there! What state is your of PPL lisence Issued in? I personally have a UK PPL and did a lot of building out in the states. I'd recommend it. Very friendly place to hour build. You basically get a "piggy back" FAA on your current lisence and no visas or anything is needed. Check the website of your current PPL holder state and see there requirements. It's a quite easy process in the end.
