Hi,
I'm about to embark on an FAA PPL and find a flying school in the States to learn with. Some people on this forum have already sent me some really useful information via PM which I'm grateful to but I've got a few more questions.
I'm doing the FAA PPL as I understand that
- I can then fly planes in the States and here in the UK (after a conversion?)
- The licence doesn't "run out" like a JAA PPL
- I can fly "G" and "N" reg planes
I hope I've understood what I consider the benefits of the FAA PPL correctly, please let me know if I've gone wrong somewhere!
Now, I'm trying to get hold of the training manuals. This is what I'm finding a little hard. I've downloaded some .pdf manuals from the faa website and they do look quite comprehensive but I'm not sure they're the full course.
Has anyone done the FAA PPL and have set of manuals (and where to get them from!) that they could recomend? I'd like to try and do the ground-school work before I head off to the USA.
Many thanks
Nick
