Part 141 Approved FAA Training
We provide training through an FAA approved flight school, qualified to train candidates under Part 141 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. See below for what 141 Approved FAA Training is about.
What is a Part 141 FAA approved school?
Part 141 of the Federal Aviation Regulations explains in great detail how the courses should be structured, how training is to be conducted and the requirements for the flight instructors. In order to administer an FAA approved course, the school has to have a standard training syllabus and adhere to a structured curriculum. The student would also need to pass a series of stage checks, administered by the Chief Flight Instructor, to make sure that the quality of the training is maintained. In order for a school to become approved, the FAA has to examine all of the training courses for which approval is sought, inspect the facility, the airplanes and administer a test to the Chief Flight Instructor. The FAA will also perform routine inspections to ensure complete compliance with Part 141 is met.
