Advantage to 141?

BrianNC · December 31st, 2005, 21:46

I already have my instrument, and would like to get the single/multi commercial and my flight instructor ratings. I already have right at 250 hrs.

The question is, is there any advantage for me to go to a 141 school at this point? I would figure it wouldn't be since I already have the total hours necessary for the commercial (not all the requirements, but the total flight time needed).

I know there is an advantage time wise if you're starting from scratch, but wondering about my circumstance.

Do you really think that you will get better answers if you post this three times?

People don't necessarily frequent all forums.

You could have helped me out instead of putting up a useless post.

WIth the hours you have, go 61

General Topics they do...since you put one in there, i'd say you got some good responses and to go with those!!

there's really no need to post the same thing is more than one forum if you hit the General Topics forum itself. In fact, we kind of frown on that type of thing (of course, with 463 posts, you already know that).

Actually I wasn't aware of that. I just kinda stumble through things unaware unless someone points things out.

Also by posting in here, I was hoping to get a direct reply from the Falcon guy. But I knew that if I only posted in this Falcon forum hardly anyone would see it.

I don't know what type of responses you have received from your other postings however I would like to answer your post.

You are right at this point about not "needing" to go to a 141 school. However, just because we are a 141 school does not mean you "must" train under the 141 syllabus. We still offer training in both 141 and 61 formats. In fact the quality and format of the training is the same. The only difference is the amount of flight time required. To train for your commercial you will still have the same amount of dual training no matter which route you take however there will be much less time building required.

Basically, you are somewhat in need of a commercial finish up program which we can do for you. If you would like I can give you a personal quote based on the flight time you already have. Please e-mail me with any of the commercial requirements you have completed as well as total time in both airplanes, cross-country, PIC, and complex. I will respond with a quote for a program based on your needs for completion of the commercial rating.

Also let me know if you would be interested in Multi Commercial with Single Add-on or Single Commercial with Multi Add-on.

Do you already have a Multi Private?

Any other information that could help me would be appreciated

I can also give you information on CFI certificates as well if you would like

The 141 vs. 61 topic has been beat to death. There would be no reason to do a part 141 commercial program with the flight time that you have, assuming you have all of the part 61 requirements met. Some advantages of a part 141 program are: ability to complete a rating with less hours than required for part 61 (ex. instrument X-Country PIC, and Commerical Total Time) and folks who get VA benefits can only have their flight training covered if it is part 141. Another benefit of part 141 is that flight schools that have a certain pass rate can have checkrides accomplished in house. Generally with part 141 you have to submit to stage checks, which I am not a huge fan of. Checkrides great, stage checks whatever. It sounds like your question was all ready answered but hopefully this was helpful.
