International Pilot Information

This page is designed for non-U.S. pilots who will be visiting the U.S. to fly. In order to fly in the U.S., you will need to contact local pilots for information and protocol for each site that you will fly. Click here for the clubs (USHPA chapters) and schools. These would be your best sources for information on flying sites.

Clicking here will get you a copy of a membership application to USHPA. A membership with USHPA will provide you with liability insurance and will also enable you to receive ratings. If you are flying a regulated site, you will need to be a USHPA member with whatever rating/skill level is required for that particular site.

Click here to view the PDF document Foreign Ratings SOP 12-3 which contains information about issuance of foreign equivalent ratings and operation by foreign pilots holding IPPI ratings.
