If I start my pilot training here in Budapest, can I then qualify here and use my licence in the UK, USA and Central America? If I start the training and do not complete it in Budapest can I continue where I left off elsewhere? What opportunities does anyone know of in Central America or the USA for PPL holders? I have been looking at the books for the exams prior to the flight training, and have come across Trevor Thom literature, is this the recommended version.  What is the time needed to get the exams done, and how much time would you recommend me putting in to studying? If there is amyone in Budapest currently learning to fly and would want to double up with me, then great!   Many Regards Matt  Matt Twilley Email: matttwilley930@hotmail.com Mobile: +44 7825 938283    Report
