As of August 2024, the TSA process for any foreign pilot seeking flight training has changed. It was a big revision and I think most pilots will be very happy with the changes.
Here’s some of the key points:
If you are a foreign pilot and will be needing training in 2025, it’s highly recommended you start this process soon. Log in to your TSA account here.
Because of the big changes, every pilot needs to start a new verification process and it has been taking anywhere from 30-60 days to get verified.
