Hi all,
Is anyone aware if there is any FAA restriction on training for PPL on non-US registered aircraft?

Thanks, Jaleel
 
So, you have a foreign registered aircraft in the US with a US CFI?
Normally, and I could be wrong, the instruction for a US certificate needs to be from a US Instructor.

Also depending on the country, the pilot, PIC certificate needs to match the country of registration?
 
This is with a US CFI (FAA certified) on a Saudi registered aircraft in Saudi completing hours for US PPL certificate.
 
Does the instructor have special permission from the Saudi gov't to operate a non-us aircraft?
 
Yes, he has a conversion on his certificate to operate with both FAA and GACA.
