Part 141 Means Higher Training Standards

Convenience, Flexibility and Expertise

At Academy of Aviation, we’re all about helping you succeed in your training, whether you're flying for work or just for fun.

Our career programs are designed with input from our airline and charter industry partners to set you up for success in the industry. For those flying for fun, we use the same proven curriculum as our career programs, but with flexible scheduling that works for you.

What’s the difference between Part 141 and Part 61 training?

Part 141 training follows a strict FAA-approved syllabus. Both students and flight schools must stick to this plan, which means no variations in training. The upside is that you can earn your FAA Commercial Pilot Certificate in fewer hours, which means less time and money.

Part 61 training offers more flexibility in how the training is done, but requires more flight hours.

In short, Part 61 focuses on certifying pilots, while Part 141 certifies the flight schools.
