200 EUR/Hour

I think the 200 GBP/hour is a bit much, I would estimate closer to 200 EUR/hour or roughly 2 EUR per NM. I actually did precisely what you are describing in a 172M at intervals before buying my own...

landing

Slowing things down can make it easier to land (especially in benign weather conditions). That might mean a long 60 knot final.

Later you'll need to learn how to fly 80 knot, 70 knot, 65 knot,...

"What if we holders of EASA PPL do a conversion to FAA, would that allow us flying of an N registered aircraft in all EU member states?"

Yes (FWIW I hold both FAA & EASA PPLs).

182 is fine

There should be no problem with primary in a 182, especially if you plan to own it. It's not that complicated a plane.

perfect lesson

sounds like a great lesson to me… the whole reason you do x-countries in training (and good to know you had no access to gps!)

My, oh my… she carried the glasses for you without a lot of lip, and you're complaining?

This is not about experience; it's about adolescence, about...

FAA G-Reg

I own a G-REG and have only an FAA license. By April 8, 2016 I'll have to have an EASA validation or license. So until then you shouldn't have a problem, at least from the Regulations side. If you...

Upgrading a Tiger

If the airframe is clean and the engine looks good, it could be worth it. A sorted out Tiger would bring more money than the asking for this plane. I would say it's worth a close look by an...

FAA in EASA land

In Europe, you can fly G-REG on your FAA license until April 7 2016. It's worth asking whether Irish registry planes can be flown on your license. If not, there might be both G- & N-Regs which...

2 lessons

I would say two a day. Your brain needs time to process the lessons. A third lesson might be effective some days, but not others. I would fear you're wasting money unless you have a practical test...

fly more often

Consider getting another instructor and fly at least twice a week. You're flying too rarely and it appears to be damaging your confidence. Nothing you've described sounds that unusual. If you want...

Trip to Moscow

I live in Moscow. In fact, I started my training at airfields outside the city. Interestingly enough, my plane is now in Ireland & I'm considering moving it to Lithuania at the end of October (or...

GPS

When I got a Garmin 696 several years ago, I thought it was amazing. Still is, but my recommendation now would be Skydemon on an IPad mini with GPS. The updates for the 696 cost me near $500/yr.

PPL

I think you should be able to get it done for something on the order of $10-12,000, especially if you avoid glass cockpits. However, one thing I like about the quote you got is that they assume it...
