Admission
Admission for Flight Training is simple, but there are a couple of rules and
regulations you need to follow, before you can start your courses. For Aircraft
Rental or Hour Building you just need a medical, an appropriate rating and a
valid BFR. Other than that, there are no visa or TSA requirements for rentals.
FAA Requirements
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) sets the following age requirements
for pilot training: Solo Flights you must be at least 16 years, for a Private
Pilot License you must be at least 17 years and for a Commercial you must be at
least 18 years old. You certainly may start your training at an earlier age but
you always have to fly with an instructor. You must be able to speak and
understand the English language and have an appropriate medical certificate for
your intended course.
Applicants who are less than 18 years old need to submit a Parental Consent
Form (see above PDF file).
TSA Requirements
The Transport Safety Administration (TSA) calls either for proof of US
citizenship (passport or birth certificate) or you need to go through a
background check procedure. Read above PDF file for "Non US Citizens" for more
information. TSA clearance is only required for the following training courses:
PPL, IFR and MULTI. Aircraft Rentals do not require a TSA clearance regardless
if you are a US citizen or not. But you need a valid US license to fly a
N-registered aircraft. (All US matriculated aircraft are identified with the
starting letter 'N').
Foreign License Conversion
Foreign Pilot Licenses for the PPL and IFR can easily be converted as long
as your Licenese comes from an ICAO member country. For the PPL you just need to
go through the required paperwork while the IFR conversion requests a written
Instrument Exam. Read more in the above PDF file.
