The Transportation Safety Authority issued a controversial new rule on 20 October 2004. The rule requires proof of citizenship status for every flight student. Foreign nationals are required to register with the TSA in advance. Shortly after the rule came out, the TSA granted an exemption for flight schools that only train in gliders.
This means that CISS can continue to operate and train student glider pilots as we have done for over 40 years, without a lot of new bookkeeping requirements.
The SSA website has more information. A copy of the exemption letter is here.
