Abstract: All airmen wishing to use their foreign license in lieu of an aeronautical knowledge test, experience and a practical test when applying for a restricted or unrestricted U.S. certificate must submit to this information collection. The Airmen Certification Branch will use the required information to properly identify the person for the purpose of requesting foreign license verification from the appropriate CAA and for checking the applicant’s information against a list of potential TSA threats. Any person who is applying for a U.S. certificate and/or rating on the basis of a foreign license must apply for that certificate at least 90 days before arriving at the designated FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) where the applicant intends to receive the U.S. certificate. This allows time for the Airmen Certification Branch to ask for and receive verification from the appropriate CAA that the person’s foreign license is current and valid.
