describing the flight training (finishing up) you wish to do and getting a confirmation whether a B1/B2 visa is sufficient.

You will, after some delay, get the necessary response (such as the one below - which was for finishing up an FAA PPL in Florida):

Subject: RE: VISA required for Private Pilot Licence training in the US in January
Date: [redacted]
From: [redacted]
To: [redacted]


Yes you may apply for a B visa. Please contact our call center tel [redacted] to obtain an appointment date.
Best regards

Visa section
2. Make an appointment with the consulate near you. They nowadays charge for the call (about €15) to make the appointment.

3. For a 10-14 day finishing up programme as you are going for, it makes sense to do sufficient training and get the necessary aeronautical experience beforehand (this can be done by a JAA instructor). If you decide to hire an FAA instructor, you need to get authorised through the TSA.

4. Contact the part 61 flight instruction operator you wish to complete your training with. Tell them you are in the process of obtaining the necessary B1/B2 visa but want to clear the TSA procedure with them. Ask for the training course name and number to be filled out on the TSA website www.flightschoolcandidates.gov

5. Arrange flights / hotel / rental car etc... when you have both your visa and the TSA approval.
