Hi everyone !
I'm having a little dilemma, currently I'm working on my hour building for CPL SE and planning on doing the CPL ME in the US.
This means, I have my PPL and my IR. I have about 150 TT. So I still need 100h before I can take my CPL exams. My goal is to get a Job in europe. Since I'm from Belgium, I can work in EU. So no problems there.
Why I went to the states? Because of the cost and the practical experience of flying.
now, I came home for the holidays and I contacted the school I wanted to go to. BAFA in Antwerpen ( After I finished my CPL SE and ME)
They told me that I had to do
- my PPL again ( all groundschool and flying 45h )
- then my ATPL(theory) with distance learning
- IR also 45h of flying
- CPL
in short, non of the hours I got in the states count for something, not pic, not night, not time on IFR flightplan ...
now I was told that I could use some of my hours ( PIC) that I had in the states. That I only had to fly for 10h or 15h on instrument, and about 10h on commercial.
(This should be the case when I finish up my CPL in the states! )
Is this possible ? does this depend on the school ? and what would be the best option then?
finish with my CPL SE ME in the US or come to Europe and just start with all my JAA licences ?
this may be asked before, I used the search to see the Faa to Jaa conversions, but did not really find an answer for my question.
thx in advance !!
