Hi!

Sorry if this has been beaten to death already.....

I am going to get an instrument rating soon, and are considering my options.

Has anyone here any knowledge about taking an IR couorse in the US and
converting it to a JAR license in Europe?

What is involved?
Is there any money to be saved this way?

I've read about US 7 day IR courses.
Any ideas on these? Good idea? Or better to spread the lessons?

Any web sites for info from schools or regulations welcome.

Thanks,

Frode Berg PPL (so far)

Frode,

I haven't seen much info on this topic on this newsgroup - but there is a
lot information on the "Professional Pilot Training" forum of the
"Professional Pilots Rumor Network" site here:

http://www.pprune.org/forums/

This is a UK based web site and it has a lot of JAR knowledgable
participants.

Frode,
Try reposting in rec.aviation.piloting and ping Chris Blythe, from England.
I talked with him at OSH and he came to Madison Wisconsin and did the
http://www.ifrwest.com/ adventure. He said it was absolutely great and
highly recommended it. He didn't mention anything about the JAR conversion.

Here's Chris Blythe's web page about his IFR adventure in the US.
