There are no shortage of CFI-I and MEI's in the UK. UK-resident FAA-designated pilot examiners, on the otherhand...

For some qualified advice, try Simon Crunden ([email protected]) He's an experienced instructor with FAA and JAA experience who I worked with for a couple of years (and is now back in the UK).

But far cheaper to come out here for a couple of weeks. Do you have the CPL written done? Do you have 240+ hoursTT? If so, and your instrument skills are up to scratch, you could have the whole thing done in 3 weeks.

Where are you doing your CJ type rating?

You could do the whole lot here. Have you checked out:

I'm curious though: what would you do with a CJ type rating? No one will insure you without a bunch of hours--whether ME PPL, or ME CPL/IR, even for private flights. The last time I looked into it, the insurers were wanting more than the FAA Part 135 minima.
