Starting points differ.
Careful planning remains essential.
Explore a US private pilot certificate based on your foreign license under § 61.75.
A private pilot certificate is not a qualification for employment as a paid pilot.
Understand the US requirements relevant to your experience and intended activity.
A Brazilian license does not automatically convert into a US Commercial or ATP certificate.
Align your plan with the aircraft, role and US operator requirements.
Type ratings and operational requirements depend on the intended activity.
HOW THE JOURNEY TAKES SHAPE
License, ratings, flight hours, English and goals.
Identify requirements and documents for your intended qualification.
Plan steps with a school, examiner or appropriate authority.
Compare your profile with hiring and work authorization requirements.
LOOK BEYOND CERTIFICATION
Future US employment is a possibility to assess against your profile, available vacancies and each employer’s requirements.
The appropriate certificate and ratings for the activity and aircraft.
Aviation certification does not grant a visa, residency or work authorization. Your immigration status must permit the intended activity.
Experience, English, training and operator criteria are assessed independently.
No employment, examination success, visa or residency is guaranteed. Each stage has its own requirements and decision-makers.

YOUR INITIAL ROADMAP
Informational roadmap: not legal advice, confirmation of eligibility or FAA approval. Costs and timelines require individual assessment.
Request a consultation by emailBEFORE TAKEOFF
There is no automatic equivalence for all privileges. Section 61.75 offers a route to a private certificate based on a foreign license, subject to requirements and authenticity verification. Commercial and ATP goals need separate assessment.
A private certificate is not the route to employment as a paid pilot. The activity may require a Commercial or ATP certificate, ratings and additional requirements, as well as immigration authorization to work.
No. Consulting helps organize your plan. Hiring depends on actual vacancies, employer selection, experience and work authorization.
Time and cost vary with your license, documents, training and goals. Professional fees, charges, examinations, school, travel and accommodation should be itemized in an individual proposal.
No. Fonseca Iannini Advocacia provides consulting. Certification, training and immigration decisions belong to the competent authorities and professionals. No institutional affiliation with the FAA is claimed.
