Now for anyone just looking to rent or get a BFR, there is no charge from the TSA and all they will have to do is fill in their info in the website linked above before coming to the U.S. This should not take more than a few minutes on a computer.
That's not what I and the local TSA representative understand...
You will have to pay $130 every single time for every single training entry in the system (BFR, checkout, or full part 141 or 61 training)...
Doing a background check on pilot is not stupid, but it could be done once every other 5 year for all pilots, whatever nationality they have... And it could be part of a ramp access card delivery process that we will all need soon if we want to enhance airport security.
But asking to pay $130 for every single training is a nightmare for our business...
