I must admit I rarely post or read this site but I respect the fact that many who do are very knowledgeable on areas that I am not.

My question, albeit a general one, is what are the option for a UK citizen wishing to commit to professional pilot training abroad?

I am interested in both Modular/Integrated ATPL for both jet and turbo prop. I would also be happy to do rotary or seaplane training as long as I was able to earn good money from it. Is it possible to graduate abroad and then continue on and work in that country as a legally rated pilot with the respective governing body. Any information on becoming rated to carry passenger in seaplanes and firefighting rating would also be very welcomed along with an explanation concerning the differences between the JAA and JAR governing bodies and licenses.

Im very keen to take my next step as I have spend 14 months plus waiting on two extremely slow military applications and want to have plan b/c ready.

Im looking into this because I know for a fact I cannot get a secured loan for CTC/CABAIR/OAT but may be able to get work in British Coloumbia to supplement any potential flight training.

I will be posting this in one or two areas of the forum but please do not feel too aggrieved if you deem it to be in the wrong place as I am not too sure which is the correct area for quite a niche set of circumstances and aspirations.

Many Regards

The cunningly titled forum 'Professional Pilot Training' might be a good place to start. Please don't spam multiple forums with the same topic though.

Shall I move this one and let you delete the others or close this and have you start a new thread in PPT?

Im not sure.

Surely there is an element applicable to this forum as seaplane/firetanker ratings do not fall under the other categories.? I just hoped it would get by the correct people in the know.

Your the moderator. Its your shout my friend:ok:

Many thanks

You can post as many different topics as you like so how about one specific to gaining your licence in the other forum and one here asking about fire training etc? That way you'll also find a wider audience, better chance of getting the info you want.
