Recently, new regulations have come into effect which affects all those who desire to pursue flight training from any flight school or flight instructor which is regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration. These new regulations affects you regardless of whether or not you are a US citizen. Below is a thumbnail description of what is necessary for you to pursue your flight training:
US Citizens: All US citizens who plan to take any kind of flight training must now provide proof of US citizenship. There are two forms of acceptable documentation which will serve this purpose (1) a certified copy of your birth certificate or (2) an unexpired passport issued by the United States government (more information)
Non-US Citizens: Whether or not you are a resident of the United States, all non-US citizens must now register for a category III security background check with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for any training for any pilot certificate or rating for aircraft weighing less than 12,500 pounds gross weight. To get this security clearance you must register through the Alien Flight School Candidates web site located on the web at: http://www.flightschoolcandidates.gov. There is a one time fee of $130 for this background check and usually a fee of about $25 for the required fingerprinting. Any recurrent training (flight reviews, rental check-outs, etc.) requires only a simple category IV clearance. To get the cat. IV clearance, just contact us by submitting a request for information form or calling us at 1-800-941-4359 (more information).
