Flying in the USA - another visa question - sorry!
I'm hoping to do some flying in the USA soon. I will need to do a few hours with an instructor/examiner including an FAA PPL check ride and will then do a load of private recreational flying.
I have completed the TSA/AFSP clearance and have their authority to begin flying subject to having a suitable visa. I asked them what sort of visa I need but they couldn't answer that.
I know that if you're doing a formal course of training you need an M-1 visa, but does anyone know if in this case a standard visa waiver will do? I'll try to get a straight answer out of the embassy on Monday, but if anyone can give me a heads-up now, that would be helpful.
