Air Fleet Training Systems is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant alien students. The appropriate visa for vocational flight students is the M-1 visa which can be issued for a maximum period of 12 months. Be aware that a minimum level of education is required for issuance of an M-1 visa. If you do not have at least the equivalent of 12 years of basic education, you should phone our school for an informal interview, so we can help you determine your ability to benefit from flight training.

The ability to read, speak, and understand English is necessary for the successful completion of an FAA flight training course. If you are unsure whether your English skills are sufficient for training, please contact us to discuss your proficiency. We’re happy to assist in determining your abilities and can help you develop ways to improve your skills.
