I'm a U.S. permanent resident (Non citizen) willing to pursue a SIC Type in a aircraft over 12.500 Lbs MTOW.


The aircraft is operated part 91 and the Second in Command training will be provided in the aircraft by the captain. I won't attend a flight school/sim.


Do I need a TSA Clearance category 1? (I don't have any other type) If yes, how it works since the captain isn't a CFI and able to clear me through the system?

What if I only fly domestically and never get the SIC Type?


I e-mail TSA and obviously they had no clue and were no help

Not sure how you contacted the TSA.
This would be the appropriate avenue.

Think you meant to say not sure how u put yourself on a watchlist.
