FAQ
Common questions before you begin
Can I convert my foreign pilot license directly to an FAA certificate?
It depends on your country of issuance, license type, ratings, FAA verification requirements, medical status, English proficiency, and your final goal in the United States. The free assessment gives a general overview, while the paid Conversion Plan provides a more personalized written plan.
Do I need an FAA Medical Certificate?
In most cases, you should plan for an FAA medical certificate depending on the certificate or privileges you want to exercise. The Conversion Plan explains what type of medical may be relevant to your situation.
What is the FAA Verification Letter?
The FAA usually needs to verify your foreign pilot license with the issuing aviation authority before certain certificate conversion steps can move forward. The Conversion Plan explains the general process and what to prepare.
Is this an official FAA service?
No. This is an independent educational and consulting service. It does not represent the FAA and does not guarantee FAA approval.
Can you guarantee my FAA certificate approval?
No. FAA approval depends on official FAA rules, verification results, documentation, medical eligibility, and examiner or authority requirements. This service helps you understand the process and prepare more efficiently.
Who is this for?
This is designed for foreign pilots who want to understand how to convert or use their existing pilot license in the United States, especially pilots planning FAA training, aircraft rental, aviation work, or future U.S. aviation activity.
