Hello SoCal App,

Thanks for the response. You see I am getting conflicting information from different schools...some are saying I can't, some I can and some just don't know. I've checked with all schools who do JAA (A) and (H) here in the US - not all have got back to me yet though.

I have sent off a query to my visa lawyer, the TSA and USCIC so hopefully one of them will be definitive.

I hope you're right and what you say makes sense to me but I was hoping to find some certain reference stating that it was actually legal to flight train on a L-1A... just because I can't find anything in the rules stating that it's not illegal isn't quite the same is it?

BTW, I won't face any problem with company policy. It's a JAA (H) PPL I am looking to train for so Bristow Academy in Florida seems to be only one for me. My intentions long(ish) term will be to fly in Europe/Ireland.

Thanks & regards,
Humhaw
