As of June 13 at least 50,500 foreign nationals in the U.S.

As of June 13 at least 50,500 foreign nationals in the U.S. for flight training on aircraft with an mtow of 12,500 lb or more were required to suspend their training until their flight schools reapply to the Department of Justice (DOJ) on their behalf. The DOJ published its interim final rule, “Screening of Aliens and Other Designated Individuals Seeking Flight Training.” The 51-page rule can be downloaded at www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/aces/fr-cont.html.

In addition, following 30 days of public comment under a notice of proposed rulemaking, an estimated 26,000 foreign-national flight students per year will be subject to new online procedures for risk assessment. The DOJ introduced its Flight Training Candidate Checks Program (FTCCP) via www.flightschoolcandidates.gov.
