Flights Schools in Canada or America??

Hey guys!

Looking for a bit of advice, sorry if this topic came up I had a look but couldn't find anything.

My cousin is interested in doing his PPL abroad.

I'm looking for good schools in Canada or America which does JAA PPL training for a good prices and offers good quality flying and instructors.

I am mainly looking for somewhere in Toronto, as I have family there but if anyone has any suggestions (even in Europe) then please fire them to me.

Thanks!

Moncton Flight College.

Moncton Flight College...

YES!
This place is excellent - the JAA license is the best option for a european person as it allows them to exercise license priveleges in europe...and the Moncton Flight College is excellent - not only that it is the only JAA approved training provider in Canada, and is affiliated with the big boys, Cabair!
I am currently at the college doing my commercial license and gained my PPL last year with MFC. I have nothing but praise for this place! any questions?
ping me an email

Flight schools in the USA

Does anyone know of any good flight schools in the USA,or even the best one out there.I hear you can do a full JAA intergrated course in the USA for half of what it costs here.I have searched for this but could not find any relevent topics.I do hope I did not offend anyone by asking a question.

I've had a look on here and seen a mixed bag of reviews for all the JAA schools in the US (more bad than good!!). My own opinion is that you never know for sure unless you try, so I'm off to Orlando Flight Training in January (to do PPL only) despite the bad press. Don't think anyone can say for sure which one is the best... guess you'll just have to do your research and see which one best suits your needs mate

There arn't any flight schools in the USA that offer an Integrated JAA flight training course.

My advise is if you go to the States to do your training, stick to the FAA only schools, such as FlightSafety, then do you JAA conversions when you come back.

[phantomcruiser07]

The problem with doing FAA only and re converting once back in the UK is that you have to do the ATPL theory and you wont be able 2 do it while doing FAA only licenses as you'll have to complete the FAA theory as well, correct me if 'm wrong.

[captain_rossco]

Of those i know who have gone through the system, it would appear that pp/ hour building etc is well served in the states, but completion or the IR/CPL is more likely than not, better done over here, after all its this airspace you are interested in working in!

You cant do your (JAA) IR there anyway.

PS. You may wish to have a scan through the Prune and see what those who converted (FAA to JAA) licenses actually thought of it, rumour has it that a fair few people take a bit of getting used to it!

[davey147]

The speed of converting licences and ratings is all down to the individual, some people take longer than others, you should know yourself whether your a fast learner or not. Most people I know have converted back in the UK with no problems, and the cost has been minimal too.

From FAA to JAA
