Hi!
Yes, individuals with asylum status in the U.S. can generally pursue pilot training, as asylum does not automatically disqualify someone from obtaining an FAA pilot certificate. However, they must meet the FAA’s eligibility requirements, such as obtaining a valid FAA medical certificate and demonstrating proficiency in English. If the individual has received an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), they can work as a pilot after completing training, but without an EAD, employment may be restricted.
Thank you!
