Alien Flight Student Program

The Alien Flight Student Program (AFSP; designation no longer used since January 26, 2022) or Flight Training Security Program (FTSP; current designation after January 26, 2022) is a program operated by the United States Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to screen prospective flight student candidates who are not citizens of the United States, before they are allowed to undergo pilot training. This program was created in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks, in recognition of the fact that the individuals who piloted the hijacked aircraft first learned to fly at US flight schools.
