What is the difference between Part 61 and Part 141 of the FAA regulations?
Students may train under Part 61 or Part 141 and will learn the same things and take the same FAA tests regardless of which curriculum they choose. The Part 141 curriculum is very structured and must be completed in a specific order. The Part 61 curriculum is not bound by the same stringent structure and allows flight instructors to tailor a program to each student’s needs.
