How many exams do I need to take for the JAR PPL compared to the FAA PPL?
8 examinations for the JAR PPL as opposed to 1 for the FAA PPL. The bottom line is that you have better flight privileges in the UK and throughout the world with an FAA PPL (H) than you do with the JAA PPL (H). We would be happy to put you in touch with the relevant department of the UK Civil Aviation Authority to confirm this. Sadly, some UK based flight schools will give disinformation to inquirers about ICAO licenses in the hope you will spend three times what it will cost to train with us, and train with them. Our weather is better, too!
