How can they be an expert on JAA flying when they only do FAA training
Well I suppose if they have FAA ATP CFI CFII MEI JAA CPL/IR (fATPL) and JAA FI then they would have some idea on the differences.

Being "approved" and being able to teach for a conversion are two different things. Being approved means you cross the CAA's palm with £5000 per year, and means nothing in the world of IR's. Even the well known florida schools cannot carry out IR initial testing in the USA, which is why you do the last bit in the UK.

S77 - probably see you there. I heard about you from the main man - I'm off to do my CFI CFII and MEI with said company early next year (and am bringing the Snowboard)

"For you guys looking to do this JAA/FAA/JAA route in Long Beach, I'd recommend ACF - the instructors are dedicated, motivated and highly experienced."

I couldn't agree more with this comment - and all the other good things said about ACF. I did FAA CPL and IR training/tests in LGB with ACF during the summer of 2004, then came back to the UK to convert to JAR fATPL.

BTW, I have no link with ACF other than being a very satisfied customer.
