Part 61 vs Part 141: Which is Right For You?

[@PaulthePilot55]

I just left a part 141 program and I’m finishing up part 61 at a smaller school. I really loved the college 141 program, but they had too many students and not enough aircrafts. I was only flying 1-2 times a week. Too many rules around when I can and can’t fly. I have 6 lessons a week at my new school. I’ll be finished with my PPL before my old classmates are done with their stage 2 check.

I'm having a similar issue. What part 61 school did you end up going to?

[@PaulthePilot55]

@@reeceo9999 just a smaller school at my airport. I trained at BJC so I had 5-6 schools to choose from.

[@FabioCalissi]

for part 141 would it be possible to choose between a syllabus and a syllaboeing?

[@ThrustFlight]

Depends on which is FAA approved ;D

Dad, is that you?

[@oceanic8424]

I have a question. Let's say that bc of the pilot shortage, one accumulates enough IFR multiengine, and total time to get hired by a major, or major feeder to start out flying regional jets, or turboprops. What can you do to ensure that your career path doesn't get "pigeonholed" into that type? Especially if you aspire to fly wide-bodies on transoceanic pairings? How much majors experience should one accumulate on their initial type rating before seeking an upgrade type rating? And if the path to bigger types is chock full, how to decide to change airlines? How is that perceived in the industry?

id love the 61 but I think I need the 141 for va benefits to pay for most of it.

This for making this video if I had a choice I wish my Freshman year in college I went stay Part 61 since I had most of my hours for Part 61 private Pilot met instead going Part 141 and my academic advisor told me I would had got Private Pilot Credit for it

[@jbharris2098]

Thanks a lot

[@maritestaylor8458]

Awesome 😎😎😎😎😎

[@mikhailbose]

141 better pilot compared to part 61. You want to be a better pilot part 141 if you want to be just a pilot part 61 simple.

No not at all

[@kopykath2023]

Not necessarily true. My experience learning basic stick and rudder in a 141 university has been downright awful. Instrument work, however, was wonderful
