Enrollment Application – International Students

Prerequisites:

Federal Aviation Regulations require that an applicant for U.S. ratings and certificates must meet the following guidelines:

  1. Read, write, speak and understand the English language.
  2. Must meet the minimum age requirements per certificate. (Private Pilot requirement is 16 years; all other certificates are 18 years with the exception of the ATP, which is 23 years).
  3. Must obtain the appropriate U.S. Medical Certificate. Arrangements can be made for your FAA Medical by CTI Professional Flight Training, after your arrival.
  4. Comply with all U.S. flight and ground school training requirements to obtain certificates and ratings desired.

FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS – if you now hold a pilot certificate issued by a country that is a member of the International Civil Aeronautics Organization (I.C.A.O.) you may easily obtain a U.S. Pilot Certificate based on your country of issue. Please indicate on the enrollment application if you will need assistance with this procedure upon your arrival.

International students must be at least 18 years of age to attend the Tennessee location.
