FAA approved CFI in Brazil

[sreichenberger]

Greetings fellow pilots,


I am pretty sure this question has already been answered in the past, but I am moving from St Louis to Campinas, in Brazil, and was wondering if anyone here knows of an FAA approved CFI in the Campinas region?

I need training done in English, and the hours signed-off by an instructor that is certified by the FAA. Any ideas or thoughts?


Thanks in advance!

Why do the hours need to be signed off by an FAA Instructor?

14 CFR 61.41

Sec. 61.41 — Flight training received from flight instructors not certificated by the FAA.
(a) A person may credit flight training toward the requirements of a pilot certificate or rating issued under this part, if that person received the training from:

(1) A flight instructor of an Armed Force in a program for training military pilots of either—

(i) The United States; or

(ii) A foreign contracting State to the Convention on International Civil Aviation.

(2) A flight instructor who is authorized to give such training by the licensing authority of a foreign contracting State to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, and the flight training is given outside the United States.

(b) A flight instructor described in paragraph (a) of this section is only authorized to give endorsements to show training given.
