An FAA-sponsored virtual public meeting is scheduled on March 6 to solicit input on the agency’s plan for modernizing FAR Part 141 pilot school regulations. This will be the first in a series of public meetings on the topic before any regulatory proposals are published. The meeting is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. EST. Written comments are requested no later than March 21, 2025.

“Modernizing Part 141 would address challenges pertaining to certification, certification management, examining authority, and evolving technology and learning methods,” said the FAA. Through a Part 141 flight school, a student may obtain equivalent levels of aeronautical experience in fewer hours than required by the alternative training requirements under Part 61.
