It used to be so easy, but the rules have changed when it comes to renting aircraft in the U.S. for foreign pilots. Pilots must now get a special clearance from the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) before the FAA can issue a VFR license based on your foreign one. Check out the FAAs’ website for more details at: http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/foreign_license_verification/. Once you receive your FAA license, contact us for a Biennial Flight Review (BFR)–that will count as your checkout–and then, provided you have renter’s insurance, you will be allowed to rent our aircraft. If you plan on visiting us, you must plan ahead.
