FAA rigger outside of USA

[hannahmusiken 0]

I am wondering if anyone knows anywhere that you can get your FAA riggers ticket outside of the US.
I can't travel to the US at the moment ant won't be able to for a while but I will still like to take the test. Anywhere in Asia would be the best,
Thanks for any answer

There are no designated rigger examiners out side the U.S. The list can be found here. http://av-info.faa.gov/designeeSearch.asp?SrchBy=LOC Select DPRE's only and leave the rest blank and you'll get the entire list.

Your only hope is to contact one or more of the International Field Offices and see if the have personnel that can approve an 8610-2 and administer the oral and practical, and find a place to take the written test. List is here. http://www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/media/test_centers.pdf

I wouldn't count on it.

Thanks for the answer! It looks like there is a couple in Asia that I could contact.
I am no terrorist... But I will make an effort to put together a profile ;)

Tokyo Skydive has a FAA Master Rigger.

Plenty of FAA Master Riggers work in Canada, Australia and Europe and they can train you, testing is tough outside the USA.
I had to drive to New York State for my written test and Pennsylvania for my practical test.

I have training and my pack jobs, just looking to do the test.

Is that really needed? Just because this person is not from 'Merica (the next great nation to fall) does not mean they are a terrorist.

Go have a wank to your flag and remind yourself how great you are

Maybe the "terrorist" part is unfair, but it did seem strange to me that the applicant was willing to travel anywhere in the world except the US.

A new empty profile, anniversary of 9/11, inability to travel to the US for a US certification concerning one container with batteries and wires that the TSA can open but has generally agreed not to open under secret conditions, if ready for the test should have been able to find the information I gave him on his own...

He didn't seem to take offense, why are you? Lucky I answered him at all. But I'm a nice guy.

Hannah is a female name

She could be a terrorist, I saw her playing an iPhone game the other day... Involving trains and a map of the US ;)

Can you not get a riggers ticket in Sweden. Most countries have their own rating systems and exams, but when it all boils down to it, a parachute is a parachute. Where in the world it is located shouldn't matter.

[councilman24 37]

Well, with the empty profile, when she posted the OP and wanting asia I didn't parse it as Hannah. Or Swedish.

At the time no d license, no location nothing. Why I asked her to fill it out.

For general information read FAR part 65.14 below. Travel restrictions may mean its impossible to obtain a rigger certificate. Recommendation from FAA inspector is to try to find out status before spending a lot of money and effort to get tested. Review likely happens when temporary submitted to Oklahoma City FAA center for.review and issuance of permanent certificate. Inspector I spoke with had one repairman applicant certificate denied on this basis.

Aside from TSA issues, DPRE's can get permission to test outside of there geographical area. See portion of FAA Order 8900.2, Chapter 5 covering testing outside area. Might be easier to bring a DPRE to you. I volunteer for an all expenses paid trip to Sweden.

§65.14   Security disqualification.

(a) Eligibility standard. No person is eligible to hold a certificate, rating, or authorization issued under this part when the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has notified the FAA in writing that the person poses a security threat.

(b) Effect of the issuance by the TSA of an Initial Notification of Threat Assessment. (1) The FAA will hold in abeyance pending the outcome of the TSA's final threat assessment review an application for any certificate, rating, or authorization under this part by any person who has been issued an Initial Notification of Threat Assessment by the TSA.

(2) The FAA will suspend any certificate, rating, or authorization issued under this part after the TSA issues to the holder an Initial Notification of Threat Assessment.

(c) Effect of the issuance by the TSA of a Final Notification of Threat Assessment. (1) The FAA will deny an application for any certificate, rating, or authorization under this part to any person who has been issued a Final Notification of Threat Assessment.

(2) The FAA will revoke any certificate, rating, or authorization issued under this part after the TSA has issued to the holder a Final Notification of Threat Assessment.
