Hi,
Firstly my apologies to Scroggs and the other mods if this has already been covered before, but my search yielded nothing so hence this post
. Also apologies if this is posted in the wrong place!
So some relevant background..well I am a 'newbie' (so to speak) and still battling with the CAA to obtain a Class 1 due to an inferior visual field defect. Having obtained a Restricted FAA Class 1 subject to taking a medical flight test, I am going to fulfil my dream to become a professional pilot (he says 'hopefully'!).
The only problem is that I have a British Passport
Whilst you may be asking yourself so wheres the problem??
I have been pondering over this question for some time and have heard mixed opinion about whether you can fly on an FAA Licence with a British Passport??Due to the battle with the CAA I am looking into the FAA Licence but I have always heard that 'you must be a resident of a particular country to live and work there' so does this mean that I must be a citizen of the USA with a valid 'Greencard' or 'US Passport' to commence my flying training for the ATP and work for a US Carrier?
If anyone could either confirm or alleviate whether this is a misconception or not that would be helpful.
Many thanks!!
