USA - All students must show "papers"
http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/regulatory/regtsa.html
Beginning October 20, 2004, all pilots wishing to recieve instruction - including a BFR, must show proff of US citizenship to the instructor. Very scary. I have heard from a reliable source that if a CFI allows a passenger to touch the controls, that is considered instruction in the TSA's eyes. The instructor must see a document such as an ORIGINAL naturalization certificate and keep a copy for 5 years. Yet on my certificate it says it is illegal to copy it. I called SSA today regarding another subject and also asked about this. The office person I talked to knew nothing. And of course the SSA website is also mute on this. Dennis was unfortunately on another call, so I didn't get a chance to ask him. Tom Serkowski ASH-26E (5Z) |

So I take it no visitors to the US can get any instruction? Has that killed
all the flight schools offering cheaper flight training for European pilots? What about visiting pilots wanting a checkride before taking a club or FBO ship? Talk about overkill!

How does Boeing get a non-US citizen to check out on say a new 777? Do they
have to do it outside the borders of the US or do they teach 'em in a sim and let 'em loose on the real thing straight away? :-J Ian "tango4" wrote in message ...

Furthermore it appears all employees (paid or not, to include club members providing volunteer services) will need recurring security training. It was suggested some months ago that clubs/operations appoint a security contact and run an audit. You could write your elected reps about the implications (or lack of necessity WRT soaring). Ask if they think this will be as effective as stopping truck-bombs. Frank Whiteley |

It just needs an addition to
America Land of the Free -- if you can afford it. All the paperwork and a $130dollar alien fee seems to put the stop on the odd flight when visiting the country for a holiday Dave |

This is no issue, as everybody is buying Airbus planes anyway. :-) Stefan Yes, thanks for contributing your tax euros to our tax dollars to allow airlines such as Northwest to buy these with their government post 9/11 handout. I particularly like the non-reclining seat (1-2") so that the passenger behind me doesn't have the view of the TV made awkward. Hopefully one day there will be more than QVC and other basic cable channels on offer. Frontier has painted talking animal heads on their fleet of 319's. Anyway, 500 Boeing design engineers are now located in Moscow, Russia and the 7E7 wings will be built in Japan. Boeing employees are not even allowed to take pictures of the production of Boeing wings, the technology was so highly guarded. But then, Boeing is not what it used to be either. Frank Whiteley |

I suppose all this sound and fury is to distract attention from the woefully lax security around container ships. That, and much more. I've heard the current state of affairs called "security theater" - the pretense of adding security while, in fact, accomplishing nothing. If the current rules *must* be implemented. Certainly glider and balloon training could be exempted. I mean, I can just see one of Osama's colleagues showing up at my club..... not! Tony V. |
