Cleared for Takeoff
We have friends who live in England who we travel with extensively, including sometimes in my plane. The wife had remarked before about always having wanted to learn to fly and lamented never having had the opportunity. She's over here now for a week visiting without her husband. She told me last night that they had discussed it and agreed for her to come to the US to get her PPL and she wanted to know if there was a flight school around that would get her a PPL for a flat price. I told her that I didn't know of one but that she may prefer to pay as she goes in case she backs out or the school goes under, etc. She is turning 60 this year (she'll kill me if she reads this), but she's a 'young' 60.
She's talking of coming back in June or July, and basically flying every day, all day, in order to get her license.
Ideas? Anybody know the requirements for converting your PPL to a UK license? Should she get her license here, i.e. take the knowledge tests, etc, or simply learn to fly here and then go back to the UK to take the knowledge and flying tests?
