Hi Rudestuff,
Thanks for such a detailed and informative reply.
I would have done this a few months ago but its basically too late now to get a Student Visa as I'm leaving on the 2nd of February.
BUT to be honest I didn't find the IR prices in the states much cheaper than for example bartolini air.
again if I had this information a couple of months back I would have done it.
I think I actually got a good deal. $8500 for 115 hours on the 172. It will be shared with another your builder so in total I will be in the airplane for 230 Horus 115 hours of which I will be PIC.
Also every single flight will be Cross Country.
The reason I wanted to do my NR before I go is exactly what you mentioned and to be able to utilise on the hours building and make every hour count and maybe do 20-30 hours of that in night BUT I do need my night rating before I go.
So taking my situation into account do you still not recommend doing a NR before I go?
Thanks so much again.

Hi Vatir, how long did you licence took to be validated?
I am planning to go in us in February too but I didn’t receive my license verification yet ( I sent it in November )
I am wondering if I should start looking for alternatives.

Hi,
Really?
Mine came in exactly 8 days.
But then I wanted something changed and only in 2 more days it came.
Very good service from both CAA and FAA.
Maybe try giving them both a ring.

Night time hour building
Hello people I need to get my 100 night so I can apply for the FAA ATP
I only have 35. Can anyone suggest somewhere in the states I could quickly get this done.

Anyone who is hour building - read the post above
That's what happens later on down the line if you don't think ahead when hour building. Night hours - they're free. It happened to me too - I could have had an FAA IR for the extra cost of an instructor. £1000 would have knocked £8,000 off my EASA training.

It's definitely worth doing if you're still hour building - it'll get you used to multi and save on training costs later on.
It won't be pic as far as EASA is concerned if you're with an instructor.
