I have a FAA CPL (225 hrs ) with CFI and im going to USA to do a bachelors degree. Can i find a job to work as an instructor there for part time so that i can build some hours as well as complete my degree ? What visa will i have to get . I am Indian. Can i work there ?
Then where can i get an instructor job ? Is there any other way i can build some hours in India ? I tried the jet, spice jet exams.. but never got through
A few questions spring to mind :
1) What moved you to study for and achieve an FAA CPL/FI, both professional qualifications that are not without cost to achieve, when you seem to be unsure about elementary circumstances that surround exercising this qualification ?
2) What do you want to achieve in your professional and personal life ? Is the bachelor's degree linked to aviation ? Do you want to become an aeronautical engineer ?
3) What do you need / want the hours for ?
And, out of intellectual interest,
4) If you have 225 hours with an FAA CPL/FI, how did you obtain an exemption from 14 CFR 61.129, which requires you to have
250 hours for the CPL alone ?
A US Immigration Officer would have a field day with you
