Hello, I appreciate the insightful responses so far! To provide more context, I've got a solid grasp of the licensing process — the F-visa, accumulating flight hours, and the subsequent proficiency requirements. However, my concern lies in the post-training phase, particularly regarding the...

Hello Everyone, I'll be in NYC from January 4 to January 12, exploring the possibility of pursuing a commercial aviation career in the U.S. As a European citizen, I'm particularly interested in insights on the Visa and permanent work permit processes. Currently, I don't hold any license. I'm...

Hello Chrisgoesflying, Embarking on a new Bachelor's degree doesn't appear to be the most suitable path for me at this juncture. While I'm open to considering that avenue as a last resort, I'd prefer to explore other options first. It's important to note that I possess a Bachelor's degree in...

Hello, fellow forum members, I am an aspiring European citizen eager to embark on a career in the United States Due to specific medical considerations, my potential path toward a career in aviation appears to be primarily focused on the United States. I am contemplating the idea of relocating...

Hi, I apologize in advance if this post does not match this forum. I am a European citizen residing in Belgium. My goal is clear: get an ATP license. Obtaining an EASA class 1 medical would be the logical first step for me, but it turned out that I am not medically qualified for an EASA class...

Hi, I have a question regarding question 18.m on the MedExpress: “Mental disorders of any sort: depression, anxiety, etc.” In the beginning of 2021, several family members/close friends where diagnosed with cancer in a short period. at that time, I developed some kind of “fear” to get...
