Flight Training Under FAA Part 61 and Part 141 Regulations

Be mindful when choosing where to complete your flight training. It’s important to understand the difference between FAA Part 61 and Part 141 regulations.

  • Part 61 Regulations: This means any FAA-approved flight instructor can train a student pilot. The instructor can be part of a flight school or working independently.
  • Part 141 Regulations: Under Part 141, the flight instructor must be employed at an FAA-approved school, such as Epic Flight Academy.

Whether training under Part 61 or Part 141, all flight students must pass the same FAA tests to earn pilot certificates and ratings.
