How difficult is it to take flying lessons nowadays if you are muslim?

In the US anyway, it doesn't matter what religion you are, just the nationality. If you are a US citizen, then you can start lessons just as easily as any other citizen. If you are not a US citizen, then you need to get TSA clearance to start flight training. They'll do a background check and whatever else they do and get back to you in about 6 months, whether you're a muslim Iranian or an atheist Canadian, no difference. It's equally annoying and useless no matter who you are.

If you have any problems with the school itself wanting to train you, then just go somewhere else, or if that's not an option, you have the law on your side.

Not very just jump off the nearest cliff,it doesnt get any easier

i dnt thnk so thr is any prb in muslim country like pakistan.i hve 127 hours and havnt found any prb.

As long as you want to learn how to land a plane you will be ok.

It is possible, but expect to go through a long, tedious, and thurough screening process. Especially if you fit the current profile of a possible terrorist.

I work indirectly for the government. My screening took months.

ha ha this a joke

YOU do not Have to Say what faith you ARE,,So WHAT!!!!!!!

well quite hard i would say because first off u need a passport to fly and the pictures needed to make a valid passport require that all of the face can be seen and as the turban is in the way then the first hurdle is failed ... lol

It's easy (provided you want to learn how to land).

Do you mean flying a trial flight or taking your PPL or PPL> Commercial.

It's a real shame if muslims are made to feel threatened or made suspicious whenever they want to take up an activity or a job involved in flying.

What happened in Sept 01 was an event performed by non-muslim people in my view, those terrorists bared no resembalance to their faith or the people of the muslim world, they've subsequently brought more destruction to the security and peace of islamic people than the attack on the towers.

They advertised their attack on the twin towers as an act of islamic fundamentalism and justified this further by attacking London and Madrid.

Terrorists use advertisment , osama bin laden cleverly uses islam as an advertisment to cover up his real motive on the western world, he leads us to believe that his attacks are religious and motivated by his faith, unfortunatly some small minded people believe this to be true and cannot see through this flawed perception

Are you talking about flying an airplane or a kite?

I should think no more difficult than for anyone else. Its racism if anyone tries to stop you because you are a a muslim.

In Iran no problem at all.

lol. As easy as if you were a part of any other religion i imagine. Just dont get any silly ideas ;)

its not difficult really, they might ask for some background questions, but i think if they do so, it wud be recism.

it wont be any diffent really being a muslim to talk flying lessons.

ask a muslim

You cannot be serious fella!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not hard. You'll be certified to operate sailplanes only but you're flying!
