FAA vs JAR
Hay,
I believe that in the USA the commercial FAA exam consists of ONE exam. 100 relevant questions. The study can be done in a couple of weeks!! It appears they concentrate on the job at hand and the practical flying side. Like, how to be a pilot!!
Is JAA APTP a bit of overkill?

Whilst acknowledging that there is some redundancy in the JAA exams, and that they seem to like trick questions, there are many who feel that the FAA one should be more, although most of it is in the check ride, which should not be written off lightly. In any case, their philosophy is that you will get the same training over the years from company ground school, etc - The JAA like you to have it before you start.
