But, again this has little to do with the original post of becoming an
Alien Flight Training Provider. Taking the TSA course alone restricts
you to providing training to U.S. citizens only.

You are mixing up two things. There is no test necessary, just need to
show a passport at the FSDO. I think you may be thinking of is the CFI
TSA certificate, something every CFI in the country is legally required
to have.


All of the instructors at my facility did the TSA training and
"certified" for annual records. We only have a few foreign students but
the boss wanted to get us all under the umbrella. The "training" course
is laughable and simply means you keep bucking it up a level to your
supervisor!!

Not a big deal at all but I resent having to do the paperwork for TSA
and the record keeping that is required "under penalty of law..." Got
it shoved in our faces and stuffed down our throats.
National Identity Card coming next and I have been predicting that for

The national idenity card already exists. It is called the
Standardized drivers license. All states use it except 3 or 4. That
card should be good for eliminating the need for FAA photo licenses as
any one who gets a pilots license is going to need a driver's license
with only a few exceptions.

20 years now. Some called me nuts and worse and that isn't the end of
my predictions either. Wish I was wrong but my batting average on these
things is nearly perfect to this point.

Has anyone gone to the trouble of getting TSA certified to provide
foreign flight training on this list?

I did. They didn't even make me come in. I filled out the application
on the TSA web site, and then called the FSDO for my passwoed. They
had no idea they were supposed to be involved, but after looking at the
web site conceded that they were. They emailed me my password a few
weeks later.

Provider"! How about that.
