I have an FAA PPL and am restricted to VFR day, land, etc here. I want to get IR, but how should I do it?
The way I see it, I have 3 options.
1. Convert my licence to JAA and do my IR here.
So, on that basis, where is the best place to do it? (I’m living next door to Weston). How much is it likely to cost?
2. Go to the US, do my IR there, and then convert my licence to JAA when I come back.
The only potential problem with this is that it will cost me an arm and a leg to convert to JAA. Can anyone shed any light on the process of converting a FAA PPLIR to JAA?
3. Find an FAA CFII here, do my training with them, and then convert to JAA, thus saving me the cost of having to travel to the US to do the IR.
Are there any FAA CFIIs in Ireland?
Any help/advice/criticism/abuse would be greatly appreciated!
