FAA IR and UK IR combined - training suggestions

Managed to achieve Stage 1 last week. Just need to build up some hours now and do whatever conversion is required to get to CBIR.

@lee that’s my plan at the moment. I’m already into step 1.

After a really insteresting chat with a member of EuroGa, I also discovered another way – IR(R) optional → Canadian IR (apparently easier/cheaper than the the US) → converstion to US IR via one flight examination and then CBIR route.

For now, I’m tempted with the sequence you mentioned.

@Fernando, let me know what you end up doing.

I am potentially interested in a IR(R) > US IR > CBIR route.

@pig, that would be fantastic! Please let me know the next time you come to SU. I’m usually fairly available, and I live very close to the airfield. Tea is on me :)

Hi Fernando,

If you want to meet up and chat then let me know. I often pop to SU for a cup of tea and wander around. I can take you through how I did it – accepting things have changed in four years … – but I can also talk about what we’re doing with my son and the great instructor we use here – in our SR22; so pretty similar.

Just let me know

Er, 402 instead of 420.

@Qalupalik, for some reason can’t find you on Telegram. When you can, please send me a message. A Part 141 US IR seems a good option.

American Aviation Academy, formerly Anglo-American Aviation until it was raided by ICE, was sold to Sling Academy after covid. I believe it is currently listed for sale.

But FYI very active or so it has appeared to me. At least one little white Sling seems to be flying 12 hrs a day.

The high temp on Monday in Phoenix will be a seasonally appropriate 114 F or 46 C. Winter is the time to be there, otherwise you’d be flying early in the morning and staying in AC until evening.
