Arrow FAA - Flight Training VISAs CONCERN
Guys,

I am really confused with the PROPER VISA needed to train in the USA as an international student.

I had a talk with a flight school manager saying a TOURIST VISA (B-1) and TSA approval is enough to start flight training (Private to CFI ratings).

Then I come to see this webpage from AOPA saying that you need CORRECT VISA and TSA approval to start your training, and I believe it is the M-1 visa (Vocational Student) as what many other flight schools impose.

So I would like to ask for anyone's knowledge and shed light upon this matter.

Thanks a lot!!!
