What the checklist covers

This is a practical pre-check for foreign pilots who want to understand whether they may need FAA foreign license verification, FAA medical planning, U.S. flight training, ATP CTP, type-rating support, or provider comparison before they spend money.

DocumentsPassport consistency, translations, medical status, and flight time summary.

MedicalQuestions to clarify before training, rental, CPL, ATP, or type rating.

Who should use it

  • Foreign PPL, CPL, ATPL, and military pilots planning FAA certification or U.S. training.
  • Pilots comparing flight schools, DPE timing, ATP CTP, type-rating, or simulator providers.
  • International pilots who want to avoid wrong-sequence bookings before travel.
  • Licensed pilots from Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, UAE, Qatar, and other ICAO states.

Important boundary

The checklist is educational planning support. It is not an official FAA determination, legal advice, medical approval, school acceptance, type-rating guarantee, or employment guarantee.
