Foreign Pilot License
At California Flight Academy we will help you convert your foreign pilot license to a Federal Aviation Administration (F.A.A.) license. Rest assured you will be in good hands at California Flight Academy. We have many students from other countries and are very experienced at helping them achieve their objectives. Everything you need to complete your flying is here at C.F.A.
You will need to come with a letter of authenticity. See link for a discussion of how to obtain that. What it does is it validates your foreign license, and gets you a F.A.A. issued private license so you will be qualified to fly in the U.S.
San Diego is a beautiful destination with fine weather conducive to flying year round. There are typically only about 30 “no fly” days per year
Our fleet of Cessna 152/172N/172K/172SP/Piper Warrior/Mooney M20K/Beech Duchess and Piper Seneca aircraft are meticulously maintained by our company maintenance staff, so you can be assured that you are flying in the safest, best training platforms available. We presently have 5– 152’s, 5-172 N models, 1-172 K Model, 2 172SP models, 4 Warriors, 1 Mooney M20K, 2 Beech Duchess, and 1 Piper Seneca for a total of 21 aircraft. This fleet is supported by a staff of 17 instructors.
The VISA is quite simple. I send a form called an I-20 and you go to the nearest U.S. embassy and obtain an M-1 VISA. It should not take more than a couple weeks. The reason for taking so long is it usually takes a couple weeks to get an appointment at the U.S. embassy in your country. In fact, assuming you want to proceed, call the nearest embassy today and make an appointment because it will only take 2 or 3 days for me to get an I-20 to you. In a separate e-mail, I will send a list of information I need in order to issue your I-20. In order to issue the I-20 I need a $500 refundable deposit.
Method of payment is whatever works for you. Wire transfer of funds, Credit card, Cash is all good. If you are doing a wire transfer some times it is less expensive to transfer a larger amount at once so as to avoid transfer fees.
We also have a barbecue every Saturday around 12:00 noon. This will be a great time for you to meet new friends, grab a burger off the Barbie and get to know us a little better.
