Earning An FAA License Starts With An FAA Approved Flight Training Program
It’s
easy to see why working as commercial pilot is appealing to so many – the
thrill of flight, travel, strong potential earnings, appealing work schedules.
If a career in aviation is on your radar, start with the right training,
for fixed wing or helicopter
training.For Part 141, FAA approved fixed wing and helicopter pilot schools are certificated in accordance with Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations part 141.
According to the FAA website,“Enrollment in an FAA-approved pilot school usually ensures a high quality of training.
In
order to receive FAA approval, a school must meet prescribed standards with
respect to equipment, facilities, personnel, and curricula. Part 141 schools
are periodically audited by the FAA and must have detailed, FAA-approved course
outlines and meet student fixed
wing and helicopter
pilot performance rates.
According to the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the most important distinction between the two programs is structured and accountability. Part 141 schools are periodically audited by the FAA and must have detailed, FAA-approved course outlines and meet student pilot performance rates. Part 61 schools don't have the same paperwork and accountability requirements.
Upon successful completion of their training program and logging adequate flight hours – 250 for fixed wing, 210 for rotor –pilots must pass a series of FAA practical tests.
Student pilots enrolled in FAA designated flight programs are preparing to test for
FAA certifications and ratings, including FAA141 Private Pilot License, FAA141 Instrument Rating, FAA141 Commercial Pilot License, FAA141 Certified Flight Instructor Rating.
To work in commercial aviation, pilots will need additional flight experience and may need a college degree, as well. It’s not a quick trip to a career in the skies, but it can be a very rewarding one for those who prepare well.
