A commercial pilot with minimum time can be hired by any
plane owner to fly their airplane under part 91, anywhere in
the world, under IFR or VFR. They just can't carry
passengers or cargo "for hire."

You can demo airplanes as a salesman and be paid to do it.

to register

has the best

you will need
| to work with them because your TSA approval is LOCKED to
them. If you
| change CFIs or flight school you must reapply with TSA,
get a new
| background check, pay another $130 and reshow your
passport. The CFI
| and FBO must already be registered as a TSA training
facility.
|
| That sucks. That's almost enough incentive to go get my
citizenship.
