Requirements FAA IR

[BrusselsPPL]

Hi all,

As a JAR-PPL with about 100 hours under my belt, I'm looking into the possibilities of getting an Instrument Rating. It seems that everyone pretty much agrees that an FAA IR is far more practical than a JAR one, so I guess I'll go for an FAA conversion of my PPL and then go for the IR.

Does anyone know the requirements for getting the FAA Instrument Rating? Do you need to have a minimum amount of PIC time, or a minimum amount total flying time? How many hours of flight training are required to get the rating?

Thanks!
