PIEDMONT FLIGHT INC (PIEDMONT FLIGHT TRAINING)

Part 141 Certification and Part 16 CurriculumAviation students can choose from two types of flight training schools — a Part 61 or Part 141 flight school. One of the benefits at Piedmont Flight Training is that we are both. Both programs are perfectly legitimate methods of pilot training. Students choose primarily based on their availability, study habits and cost.The differences that matterPart 141 is an FAA approved curriculum and thus more structured than Part 61. Part 61 still meets FAA regulations.For Part 141, the student has to complete ground school with their instructor, whereas with Part 61, the student is expected to complete a self study course on their ownA common misconception is that 141 is not self study. Both 61 AND 141 are self study programs.FAA reviews the student’s progress throughout the Part 141 curriculum on a regular basis – checking for consistency, continuity and acceptable flight training practices, a.k.a. Stage Checks. For Part 61, the student’s progress is determined by their instructor’s assessment. Under Part 141, there’s a 190 hour minimum to apply for your Commercial Certificate versus 250 flight hours under Part 61.,VeteransA benefits certified. Ask about using your GI Bill.
