Question Flight Time Accumulated Outside USA

I have 10.2 hrs flight training/flying outside the US and I'm wondering If I can use it towards my FAA PPL Certificate/License?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I do not see why not. If it is documented and signed off from a certificated instructor you should be fine.

FAR 61.41


§*61.41***Flight training received from flight instructors not certificated by the FAA.

(a) A person may credit flight training toward the requirements of a pilot certificate or rating issued under this part, if that person received the training from:

(1) .....(military stuff)

(2) A flight instructor who is authorized to give such training by the licensing authority of a foreign contracting State to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, and the flight training is given outside the United States.

Thank You. Both. I was coming to delete this post after I looked through the FARs and found the same information lol

But I would discuss this with the examiner well in advance of the checkride.

If the logbook entry is stands out as being "not US" due to format, language, etc an examiner may hone in on that, and may want some sort of documentation to prove that the instructor in question, his cert, and the country in question meet the FAR requirement.

Thought about that. I do have receipts of all my flights documented, maybe except 1 or 2 from my Instructors, They are both certified US Instructors, the only thing is the aircraft registration wasn't US

Well with that said there should be zero issue. If they were FAA CFIs I would not worry about it at all. Its more about where the Instructor is certified than the aircraft.
