SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 141 prescribes the requirements for issuing pilot school air agency certificates, provisional pilot school air agency certificates, associated ratings, and the general operating rules applicable to a holder of a part 141 pilot school or provisional pilot school air agency certificate. Through a part 141 pilot school or provisional pilot school, a student may obtain equivalent levels of aeronautical experience in fewer hours than required by 14 CFR part 61. Part 141 schools are required to have FAA certification, and FAA oversight. Specifically, part 141 includes curricula standards for training and procedures to ensure a training course used by a school is adequate, appropriate, and is administered by qualified personnel including an experienced chief instructor who supervises instructors. The process of licensing or certification of pilot schools in the United States is approaching 100 years of existence. Although the FAA has revised certain regulatory requirements pertaining to pilot schools during this time, part 141 still has many foundational ties to Civil Air Regulations (CAR) part 50, which was implemented in the 1940s. Regulations for pilot schools are typically promulgated to improve safety, reduce aircraft accidents, and embrace changes such as advances in technology and the need for data collection and analysis. Modernizing part 141 would address challenges pertaining to certification, certification management, examining E:\FR\FM\26DEP1.SGM 26DEP1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 247 / Thursday, December 26, 2024 / Proposed Rules authority, and evolving technology and learning methods. The FAA’s objective of modernizing part 141 is to increase safety and create a foundation for a more structured training environment to aid in the reduction of general aviation accidents and fatalities. Therefore, part 141 must be analyzed to determine how it can evolve with the changing aviation industry. Over the course of the project, the FAA is seeking engagement from the flight training industry through participation in public meetings and submitted comments. Collaboration within the industry is encouraged to stimulate the innovation of a modern part 141 that will serve the needs of current and future pilot schools, as well as provide a robust and safe training environment that instills the necessary knowledge, skills, critical thinking, and aeronautical decision making in its pilots to create a safer national airspace system.
