JAA FAA ICAO CAA etc - help needed
I'm a bit confused about all this and need some help.
I am thinking of going to Helicopter Adventures in florida (with a JAA PPL-H, gained here in the UK) to do the FAA CPL course and the FAA CFI course, working as an instructor in the US for 18 months, then coming back to the UK once my J1 visa has expired.
4 questions...
1) what will i need to do to enable me to work as an heli instructor here in the UK?, given that I will have about 700-1000 hours.
2) what is an ICAO licence? do i need one to work here in the UK? if so, can you covert a FAA licence to a ICAO easily?
3) is it a better idea to do the JAA CPL course instead of the FAA CPL course when I am at Helicopter Adventures Inc?
4) is a JAA CPL course the same as a CAA CPL course? Helicopter Adventures website program/prices isnt very clear to me
