x-country flying

Arrowhead - I suspect the spanner in your works will be the US schools' minimum experience requirements set down by their insurers.

There will probably be a requirement for a 'safety pilot' to accompany you, namely one of their instructors who will be logging the time, in which case you can't log it as P1, thereby partly negating the whole point of the exercise.

For your information, I did my MEP in the US and wish I hadn't bothered - not that there was anything intrinsically wrong with the training, but when I came to do my JAR Multi IR back in the UK, I had to re-learn a lot of the drills and techniques as they are often subtly different for the IR.

Flying a Multi on two engines is no scarcely different from a SE Complex, and I don't think you'd really want to do a cross-country nav asymmetric anyway.
