Pilot notices

Non-U.S. Pilots flying in the U.S.
At minimum for foreign pilots to fly in the U.S., they will need to hold an International Pilot Proficiency Identification card (IPPI) card and contact USHPA (toll free: 800.616.6888, direct: 719.632.8300 or fax: 719.632.6417) and obtain a 30-day membership. If they want to actually receive a 'rating' from USHPA, they will have to fill in a regular annual membership form and pay the annual membership dues.
http://www.ushga.org/documents/sop/sop-12-03.pdf
U.S. Pilots flying abroad
IPPI card is sponsored by the Federation Aeronautic International (FAI). This card is your universal pilot rating card for the SafePro and ParaPro programs from the FAI and may be necessary when flying overseas. The IPPI card is not a stand-alone card, but is to be used in conjunction with your current membership card. You must be a current USHPA member for USHPA to issue an IPPI card to you.
