Now you may already have selected a Flight School or a Flying Club to go work at. But it is still not a bad idea to set up your Flight Training Provider (FTP) account with TSA’s Alien Flight Student Program. Just in case a student shows up with some cool equipment and wants to hire you outside of your Flight School job; now would not be a good time to start this enrollment process and wait. Again, it’s a government website, so it does take a few days to set up your account. Once set up, prospective students can select your name as an FTP from the drop-down menu, and upon your approval can go forward with submitting fingerprints through LiveScan and receiving permission to initiate flight training. Not all students have to be on M-1 or other kinds of student visas for flight training.
