International Students - Part 61 USA
Hello you all,
I will be going to the US in early September to start my Flight Training Program and I would like to ask a few questions before making a decision of which school to apply for. My brother graduated from Airborne Flight Systems in Ft. Lauderdale last year under the Part 141 flight program. But last time we talked, he recommended me to look into the Part 61 as it would fit me better and I would also fly more. So I got in touch with Airborne Systems and asked about the Part 61. They told me they only let American students to fly under the Part 61, saying that International Students are not allowed to train under this program due to some visa matters. But the fact is that during his stay in America, my brother met a Brazilian guy who was flying under the Part 61 at Airborne Systems Flight School.
Well, the main question is: Are International Students not allowed to fly under Part 61, or should I look into a different school? Maybe this Brazilian guy was an exception?
Thanks!
