Faa Check Ride In UK

The ONLY person you can do the FAA Helicopter checkride with in the UK and indeed most parts of Europe is Adam House. However, you will have to do all of the required flight training with one of the approved FAA instructors. Currently the FAA system is "rather a systematic procedure". In the eyes of the FAA you are an alien, you will have to go through the "alien security process". Security clearance and permission to commence training is required from the FAA before ANY training can commence,. You will also have to go through the finger print screening process.
Pass a mutli choice exam on Rotorcraft at the approved test centre in the UK.- curently there is only one- at Farnborough. Obtain a FAA medical. obtain numerous written authorizations off your FAA approved instructor. Pass the flight test with Adam and the job is done . your licence is in your hands. any more queries PM me
