Good Schools to do hour building in Florida
Hi,
I have 25hrs left of hour building and due to weather have cancelled my 300nm qual. many times and now with the bad weather I need to go to the US or europe to finish off. I have to keep postponing my CPL and am not a happy bunny!
Any ideas please also what needs to be done as far as security clearance etc.

Re: Good Schools to do hour building in Florida
Since no one replied and the search function is u/s.
CAA associated establishments - but doesn't have to be for hour bulding:
Orlando Flight Training
European Flight Training - ask about 152 hour building if you don't mind a 152 - cheaper!
Naples Air Centre

Re: Good Schools to do hour building in Florida
Why bother going over to the US for 25 hours?
Get on a easy jet up to the Highlands.20k+ viz is normal this time of year.
Inverness- Cum - wick or Kirkwall- Inverness should be far enough. And there is tons of places to go and see for the rest of the time.
6 nights in a BnB which will be quite cheap this time of year 25 quid a night.
No visa's required and some cracking flying to be done.

Re: Good Schools to do hour building in Florida
Why Florida ? Try advantage areo at the Lancaster airport, 70 miles West of Philladelphia. They've got a serious line up of FW's to rent, including a new Cirrus ! You can fly up to NYC and over to Seattle. Great !

Re: Good Schools to do hour building in Florida
Thanks for all your replies. After a lot of searching I was given the name of a flying club local to Jerez by BAE. They have good rates and there are a few hotels for 20Euro.
They have C150's, 2 C172's and a PA28 Archer. The rates are better than in the UK so I decided to do the rest of my hour building there. I am hoping to fly to Faro as part of the 300nm stopping somewhere on the way back. It will be nice to have heavy traffic in the circuits which I have not yet experienced.
Carb Heat In/Out If you guys are reading this hello, Joe you have to come. Ryanair is as low as £20 return to Jerez. Would be good to fly with you to Portugal and around Spain. Will let you know my contact details whilst I'm over there.
All the best,
Kazakhstan

I would go further and say 100 hrs in 4 weeks absolute max, and even then you'll probably be to knackered to get much out of it, or even enjoy it.
If so, what's the point?

I remember seeing somewhere that you need a restricted FAA licence to be issued before commencing hours building over there while on a Uk licence..

See this page on the FAA website. Note that the FAA need to check the validity of your license with the CAA, and the CAA charge for this service. There is a link to the CAA's website from the FAA's page, but since the CAA have re-issued a lot of their forms recently, this link does not point you to the correct form. The correct form is here.

Las Vegas Hour Building - Recommendations?
Hi guys,
The general subject of hour building in the States has been covered before, but can anyone recommend a flying school around Las Vegas? I might get the opportunity to go out there for a week or so this summer and wouldn't mind getting some flying under my belt.
Do I still need to get my JAA PPL endorsed by the FAA? What's the procedure?
Cheers!

You have money in the bank for flying and you are off to Vegas! there wasatimewhen i was given my first overdraft, it was for £1000, I thorughly considered drawing it all outand putting it onto a 25:1 shot. I didn't!
In terms of your licence, it's a funny one with the states. As far as I'm concerced you should be allowed to use it straight up what with america being an ICAO member state and seeing as we extend the warm hand to them to allow kind folk like myself to operate with all of my priviledges of my FAA PPL. However the americans are a little touchy about foreign folk being in airplanes there. Iknow that to enter the country you won't need a visa so long as you are no undergoing any training but you may well need to let the TSA know that you are there and that you intend tofly. It should, as I understand it, only be a paperwork excercise and you shouldn't be put of by that!
If I am wron about anything here guys, don't copy and paste my error only tosay "no that's wrong" also may I add that itwould not be that hillarious if you now qoute thebit about copying and pasting!
