That is for G registered ac amigo, not EC registered planes.

Have to agree with act700. Used to live in Las Vegas. Over flying the Las Vegas Strip was a beautiful experience, especially at night. That is now banned thanks to several JAA ppl's who continually ignored instructions to turn around at the Excalliber hotel (Impossible to miss as it looks like a giant castle), and flew on, crossing the the end of the runways at Las Vegas Itnl, causing jets to have to abort T/O or landings. But they knew their theories..........In fact, at the FBO where I was training we used to regularly get European tourists wanting to hire aircraft. Again, those ppl's knew all the theory, but had no idea how to fly, so the school stopped renting to them (particulary to those from the continent, UK guys weren't so bad).

I have to agree, it's sooo acceptable to generalize. US / UK = good - OKish pilots, European mainlanders and Indians are medicore - bad pilots :E

Not that it matters, I'm a Euro mainland pilot with FAA licenses :}

Let's face it, the JAA ATPL theory is overdosed and in big parts totally useless. It sure doesn't make you a better pilot but hey, if you wanna fly EU-regged planes, you gotta overcome it :(

I dont think so:= You can never categorize the abilities of a Pilot based on where he is from. The place where one gets trained from does matter, But NOT the way you think. There are a lot of people who have been trained in Russia or Moldova or Ukraine or Fillipines and can fly better than a lot of people who have been trained at CTC or Naples or any "GOOD" Flight schools in the UK or US.
