three monts to get here. >> i wanted to be someone like that. it's special. >> a dream he's had since he was 10 back home in china. >> for a ten-year-old kid it was cool. >> a dream of becoming a commercial pilot. >> to be an airline pilot? >> yes, sir. >> this 27-year-old from tunisia shares that dream, getting his training at california airways flight school. >> i like to practice here. flying here. >> reporter: practice these students can't get at home because they don't have access there to smaller airplanes known as general aviation. >> america is one of the best countries in aviation. >> reporter: anthony had never set foot in an airplane until new year's day. he now has 100 hours in the

them to their destination safely. >> reporter: he says all 147 students are from china hired by a chinese airline and paid in full. each get their pilots license in about a year. teaching foreign students has its unique challenges. >> someone might know how to teach, but how to teach someone who english is not their native language is something else. >> reporter: it's why they take english classes at the flight school. and a lack of access to small airplanes at home is the biggest obstacle to success. >> general aviation is virtually nonexistent in china. >> my favorite part? flying. >> reporter: students get 190 hours in a plane by the time they leave. >> we are flying every day. >> after they are done training here they go home and take a

year to be rated on big airplanes, and then expect to end up in the right seat of cockpits as the pilot of jets with only 250 hours of flying time. >> what kind of plane do you want to fly? >> 747, my dream. >> reporter: here in the u.s., similarly trained pilots don't sit in the right seat until they have 1500 hours of flying time. that leads to safety concern. >> english was a big problem for them. >> reporter: this veteran flight instructor taught pilots from china for four years. he said he quit his job in frustration over safety lapses. he wanted to hide his identity. he doesn't want to jeopardize a career in aviation but he wants to expose what he considers to be critical safety issues. >> their decision making ability was lacking.

they didn't want to make decisions on their own. they wanted someone to tell them what to do. >> reporter: this instructor said he was pressured by the flight school and the foreign-based airlines to pass pilots who were not ready to fly commercial jets. >> students who weren't rey, we'll just send them anyway. >> does that create a safety hazard in your mind? >> absolutely. >> we contacted that flight school, a manager there denied that pilots were rushed to graduate and given licenses before they were ready. this instructor said the pilots would go back home and within a year be a co-pilot of big jets like 737s, 777s and 747s. >> i had students two years after they left me and they were in the right seat of wide body

aircraft. >> with 380 people behind them. >> we need to get them more training. >> reporter: listen to this man. >> they are unprepared if for the task. >> reporter: he was a flight instructor before retiring to fly corporate jets. >> there seems to be an indecent hurry to get young cadet co-pilots into the cockpit. >> reporter: all of the flight schools admitted they have no control over what happens when the pilots go back home. >> does it worry you we are not teaching the skills in the flight skills? >> it does worry me. it should worry any responsible pilot or co-pilot getting into a cockpit these days and quite simply they're unprepared. >> reporter: in a statement

e-mailed to us, a flight school says it is dedicated to providing manual flight training skills far and above industry standards. a half dozen or so other pacific run airlines who we reached out to declined our request for comment. asiana airlines announced it was changing the way it trained future pilots and late today, the faa notified us that tomorrow in a news conference it will announce new training rules for pilots. coming up tomorrow night we take you in the cockpit with these student foreign pilots and learn what they learn at the controls. that's tomorrow night. we'll see you then. >> an unsettling report. if you have a tip for steven, give us a call at 888-996-tips or send us an e-mail. we have exclusive video to show you that captures the
