About two years ago we had a guy from the UK here, if I can find his name I will list it, he was from some place in mud Island (Uk) sorry I say that but my wife comes from that place ( as do two of my super cars - see nothing wrong with made in Sussex or Gaydon) he was trained and had exposure to Gyropedia ..... he had never flown into a controlled airport, had never had to select a squawk code and enter the airport QNH, he came on a flying holiday and I was his, dare I say it saftey pilot.Of course, the Gyropedia can be integrated with any national training syllabus, and so far 4 non-English speaking countries have their syllabi mapped to the Gyropedia "International Lesson Structure."
I well remember a guy from the Czech Republic coming to York in 2017 to do just that...
My own training followed that structure, despite learning in the UK (and Portugal)
We make it part of our course to see to it student pilots can fly into controlled airspace and land at a busy international airport under tower instruction
I think he returned somewhat wiser, apart from being blown away with the breathtaking scenery he enjoyed, he also enjoyed good old SA hospitality and was relieved of his passport and camera
