Ok, need to ask a few more questions on this - maybe someone can assist?
Quick background - I hold a CASA ATPL and MECIR.
I need to sit the FAA ATP exam in the USA on the way to an (FAA) type rating in Canada. I have ALREADY ticked the following boxes:
- FAA 1st Class Medical
- Submitted FAA Form 8060-71 "Verification of Authenticity of Foreign License, Rating and Medical Certification" to FAA
- Submitted CASA Form 452 "Flight Crew Licence Verification" to CASA
I'm chasing up the TSA stuff separately also (fingerprinting in Sydney).
I am about to submit FAA form 1600-78 "Request for Visit by Foreign National" to the FAA FSDO - but have one question regarding the "Type of Visa" I will be travelling on.
Am I eligible to use the "Visa Waiver Program" as I will only be conducting the ATP written exam in the USA and the type rating will be conducted in Canada?
Any other info anyone can provide about this process would be gratefully received.
Cheers,
Joe Lighty
