Here is the breakdown by years:
2019-2020: PPL
2020-2021: CPL
2021-2022: Flight Instructor training
2022-Present: Flight Instructor
Hi Tendon Pilot, currently I'm in a similar situation as you were back in 2018. I'm not Japanese, British/Filipino but with Japanese Permanent Residency. I already got my PPL back in Florida in 2023 and am now looking at continuing my training. I'm considering going back to the same Flight School to get my ratings up to CFI and then looking at my job options to instruct and build time, either in the US, Canada or anywhere else for that matter. I'm still trying to figure out the career path.
If you have the time, I'd greatly appreciate hearing the long story of your flight career. Especially what visas and license conversions you had to get to work in in the US/Canada?
Thanks in advance. Regards.
