The FAA is initiating public engagement on the Modernization of Part 141 with an introductory public meeting and will include additional meetings. These meetings provide a forum for the aviation community to discuss, prioritize, and make recommendations to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) concerning the modernization of part 141 through written and oral comments. In its commitment to maintaining the safest air transportation system in the world, the FAA finds the best foundation of quality ground and flight training is through certificated pilot schools.
Current part 141 pilot school training regulations have foundational ties to the early years of pilot training and elements directly linked to the Civil Air Regulations. Therefore, updating part 141 regulations would ensure the training conducted at pilot schools meets the 21st century challenges of technology, safety, and the advancements in teaching and learning techniques.
The Modernization of Part 141 public meetings will be a key resource in the FAA’s ability to identify and address the demands and needs of the flight training industry.
