1.  If I'm not a US citizen, do I need to register with the Transportation Security Administration to learn to fly in the United States?
Yes.  The United States Transportation Security Administration requires all non US students to register for a background check for flight training.  This may be accomplished on line at: https://www.flightschoolcandidates.gov/.  Please call us before you register if you are interested in flight training as a foreign student so that we may give you some helpful information on this process.

We recommend you call our assistant chief flight instructor for some helpful information before you begin your registration with the TSA.  The web site that you will register on is located at: https://www.flightschoolcandidates.gov/.

Yes.  We suggest you call us first at 770-458-8034 or 1-800-774-9270.
