VALIDATION of PILOT LICENSES
Regulations regarding the validation of
pilot licenses vary for every country, including the
Philippines. This is the reason why National Aviation
Specialist Academy (NASA) International Inc. recommends
that you check with your local civil aviation authority.
Generally, pilot licenses are validated
in other countries provided that you pass the exams
required by the aviation law of the country in which
you wish to fly.
For example, a person from Japan or China
who obtains his or her PPL or PHPL license in the Philippines
will need to pass the local flying law examination in
his own country. The same applies to a person who qualifies
in one European country and wishes to fly in another
European country. Or one who qualifies in Europe and
wishes to fly in the Philippines.
Internationally, Philippine flying schools
and Air Transportation Office (ATO) are highly respected
and recognized.
In this regard, National Aviation Specialist
Academy (NASA) International Inc. has trained pilots
of different nationalities who initially obtained Philippine
flying license and had these training certificates validated
in their respective countries.
