Flight schools are either certified under Part 61, Part 141, or both of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs). Part 61 and Part 141 certified flight schools offer the same basic training and require the same FAA exams. The major difference is the flight training environment. Some students prefer a structured flight training environment under Part 141 and others prefer a flexible (less structured) flight training environment under Part 61. You can receive excellent flight training under both Part 61 and 141 certified flight schools in which they have the same objective – to help you earn your pilot certificate(s) and rating(s).
