Just for a PPL, I am not sure it does. It would still be a close call
though. You could probably get a PPL for something like $12K flying
in from Europe for a month. The extra 2K would be worth it since the
training in the US is probably a richer experience with so many
airports/airplanes/airspaces and the greater exposure to using
English on the radio.

That may well be the case for a lot of people from *mainland* Europe.
However, I know our instructors often say that people that come back
from the States with a PPL often have a lot less exposure to ATC,
airspace and (most importantly) marginal weather than you would get
here in the UK.


All good things when you;re trying to learn! The other stuff could be
categorised as advanced.
In any case, it's all in where in the US you learn. Most go to FLA or
similar because of the weather.

In any case, they will definitle learn more about aircraft handling than
they would in the UK.
