-
When the training starts?Once the student received a visa, TSA clearance and arrived to the United States.
-
How can one obtain an FAA ATPL if they are a foreign airline pilot with A320 type rating?Apply for validation and obtain Letter of Verification. Apply for ATP-CTP course. This is a mandatory course that every ATP multi-engine candidate must complete. Obtain TSA approval for the ATP-CTP course and type rating (if you want to take courses congruently). After arrival in the US, you will be fingerprinted for the TSA database. Complete the ATP-CTP course (7-10 days). Take the ATP Written exam (125 questions for 4 hours, passing score 70%). Take your ATP training. Pass your ATP Check ride in the same training aircraft.
-
What is the foreign certificate validation process?You must send documents and request a Letter of Verification from the Miramar, FL Flight Standards District Office (FSDO). The FAA will confirm that you have a valid pilot certificate in another country. This process, which takes up to 90 days, is required according to FAA regulations, section 61.153 “Requirements for candidates for a license for ATP FAA” . It clearly states that a candidate for an FAA ATP must: (a) Hold a commercial pilot certificate with an instrument rating. (b) Meet the military experience requirements under § 61.73 to qualify for a commercial pilot certificate with an instrument rating. (c) Hold either a foreign airline transport pilot certificate or foreign commercial pilot certificate with an instrument rating which: (i) Was issued by a contracting State to the Convention on International Civil Aviation; and (ii) Contains no geographical limitations.

What should I do if my foreign pilot certificate can not be validated?Go to this website: https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/foreign_license_verification/ Download the application under the link: https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Form/AC_Form_8060-71.pdf And then fill, sign, and scan the application. One of the points of the application (paragraph 11) is a point of confusion for many applicants. Enter: “PPL Multiengine, Instrument rating”. This is not of critically important, because ANY AND ALL foreign licenses are validated with a FAA PPL. About this we have a separate section: Foreign Certificate Validation Scan your medical certificate. Make sure that it is valid, bilingual and contains your full name as it appears in your passport and is in accordance with your license. Scan all the completed pages of your foreign pilot’s certificate and send it to: foreign-verification4@faa.gov The service is free, there are no state taxes.
