I am in the following situation.
1. I have an FAA PPL based on my EASA-PPL.
2. I have done training in the USA before and my TSA account has my fingerprints preregisters.
3. I have been to, and rented from, a particular flight school in the USA several times before.
I want to go and do my FAA IR knowledge test (+ maybe a couple of hours training) at a school that is not SEVIS registered. They dont seem willing to get SEVIS registered for whatever reason and have told me that I don't need a VISA.
The main purpose of my trip is hour building for currency rather than training.
I find that nobody seems to know the law and I'm considering asking a lawyer to give me an opinion.
