RE: No Turbulence In Higher Altitude?

RE: Atpl Questions

I'm not sure you're able to convert a FAA ATP licence to a JAA ATPL (I don't think so, there's a big difference in testing). In the US, you have to be 23 to be eligible for the licence. I'm not sure if there is such a thing as a frozen FAA ATP, but under JAA regs, very common if you undergo ab-initi...

RE: Smallest US Airport With Commercial Service?

Libby (S59), Montana I believe had commercial service up until not too long ago (Metroliners). Libby is a tiny town with a population of only 2600 within the city limits and the airport is, well, tiny too. To give you a hint, that's where the movie Always with Richard Dreyfuss was filmed. johan

I think -3/+3 is the limit under JAR-FCL regs, with a probable extension to

Starlionblue,

a FAA PPL costs an average of 3500 - 5000 dollars, depending on how often you fly, where you fly and how fast a learner you are.

I hope you find what you're looking for.
