1,000 hrs FAA CFI and returning to Europe - Options
I know this has been touched on in previous posts but I would just like to see is there any fresh information out there!
I plan on getting a job as a CFI in the U.S.A and return home with as many hrs as time (visa) allows
A few questions:
If you have gone down this route what steps did you take as regards converting license back to JAA standards?
What time/money should be allowed for this conversion?
What is involved in the conversion?
Where can it be done?
Thanks - Stay Classy

Reward is sweet
It will cost £3,500 for you to do your exams and costs for accomodation etc. The F.I bit will cost in the region of £5000 as you only have to do half the full course.
When you are all done then what can you expect. Well there is plenty of work around for instructors but if you go for it and do your I.R. then rewards can be handsom. There are still plenty of jobs going for inexperienced guys with an I.R. should you chose to go that route with good wages.

Plenty of work
CPL flying costs will not be too much as once you have 185 hours and met all the requirements eg x-country, solo etc then in theory all you need do is the skills test. For a 1000 hour pilot that should not be too much trouble and I am sure all the requirements have been met. The CAA costs are nothing in the grand scheme. Once you have done the exams you will not be worried what the CAA charges are because that is the last cost.
Controller, there is plenty of work out there but the I.R. is what keeps many people from going for all the jobs. I regularly hear of associates getting a job once they have done their I.R. and it will be a well paid one at that.
As we all know the instructors jobs are fairly seasonal but now is the time when this type of work picks up.
