“I am an international student, but I want to train to become a pilot in the US, how do I get myself a spot?” The first thing you should consider is your eligibility requirements. To train to become a pilot, you should at least be 16 years old, must be fluent in writing, understanding, and reading English, and you must also have medical certification. To get a medical certificate, you must be examined in person by an FAA-designated Aviation Medical Examiner.
Getting your student pilot certificate is the first major thing you need to do to develop your aviation career. You don’t need a student pilot certificate to take flying lessons, but for flying alone you do. To be able to obtain the student pilot certificate, you must be at least 16 years of age to fly an airplane and 14 years of age to fly gliders or balloons. To be eligible for the license, you also have to be able to read, write, speak, and understand English in a high level.
Accelerated Flight Training is an intensive training program focused on getting optimal performance from student pilots and getting their license in a short amount of time. With an accelerated training curriculum, courses that would normally take up to 4-7 months can be completed in 14 days.
As we move into 2021, we are encouraged by the optimism of the various aviation industry experts we’ve connected with over the course of last year year. By prioritizing innovation and the expectations and concerns of passengers, we as an industry can move into a new phase of travel, with state-of-the-art technology leading the charge.
