Getting a JAA PPL License in the U.S.A.

[aughuet]

Hi there!

I wondered if there is a certain webpage with lists of certified flight schools in America that are allowed to train for a European (JAA) PPL License.

If there isn't (google didn't find much), does anyone have an idea if there is a flight school in Colorado that is allowed to train according to the JAA rules?

Thanks a lot!

the part i dont understand is where aughuet said,

"I wondered if there is a certain webpage with lists of certified flight schools in America that are allowed to train for a European (JAA) PPL License."

BillieBob actually answered the original question correctly, however if you read porridge's answer, aughuet may think there are no schools in USA approved.

aughuet is obviously going to be new to flying and maybe even pprune, and it would be nice if rather then saying "doesnt look like" to actually spell out that there are schools in USA approved to do JAR PPL training, just not in Colarado.

Dear aughuet,

There are schools in the USA approved to do JAR PPL training, just not in Colarado.

Sorry my laconic brevity caused so much concern - looks like several of you out ofthere were able to help ‘hours builder’ out the confusion. Aughuet seems to have got the message loud and clear even if he hasn’t responded.
Whopity & Billie Bob - thank you for your precise & succinct analysis of my post – I am sure that Aughuet is now left in no doubt about the lack of JAA training in Colorado. Now if he was to head a little south to Arizona, then he/she may be in a little better choice situation!

Thanks for the answers porridge!

Let me end your discussion (i'm enjoying it ;)) by saying I DID understand porridge when he gave the 2 answers.
In my point of few it's obvious to see that, also because I can clearly see in the linked pdf file that there ARE flight schools in the US, but not in Colorado.

Thanks for y'alls help! :ok:

What is not clear here is whether any of you are talking about an American PPL(A) or PPL(H) course?
