141 Schools

[RC_Moonpie]

Many of you may not know these places by the phrase "141 school" so I
will give you some great ways to spot them. If the school is a
university flight department, if the name includes the word Academy, or
if their ad says anything that refers to training pilots for an airline
position it is a 141 school and you should carefully consider sending
anyone there. Here¡¦s your quick evaluation test: Do I want my
offspring to be a pilot or do I want them to be a regulation expert with
average skills? If it¡¦s the first, you should consider finding
another school.

Now if you happen to be a 141 graduate, please do not take this
personally. I know many pilots who made it through a 141 school
without the skills learned prior being stripped from them. If you are
a 141 grad and you get this newsletter, you likely know better than
anyone what I am talking about. And if you run a 141 school, there is
a chance you are one of the few who have received FAA approval despite
your good reputation. With that said, let¡¦s get to the meat of the
subject.

Why do people go to these schools and why do flight schools go to a 141
method of training? 141 Schools are typically accelerated programs that
are eligible for government grants, and whose students are eligible for
student loans. For this reason, it is very hard for me to blame a
flight school that chooses this route as it is sure to guarantee more
income. Likewise it is hard for me to blame students as they are apt to
seek out the quickest route through training. But does this encourage
the best training?

Because these programs are FAA sanctioned, these schools tend to focus
first on regulation, preparation for the airlines, and all the ways you
can get violated instead of how to fly an airplane well. Due to this,
the typical 141 graduate is an amazing encyclopedia of regulation that
can tell you what page and paragraph of the FAA bible describes the
current situation while simultaneously freezing at the yoke because they
have no idea how to read the weather ahead. But, as you fly headlong
into a level 5 or try to convince them you don¡¦t need to deviate a
hundred miles around a cloud the size of a VW Beetle, they WILL tell you
the technical term for that specific type of cloud.

Did you realize that a 141 school student:
¡E can get a full license in less hours
¡E can become a CFI in less hours
¡E is teaching the next class of students
¡E is allowed to do this because the program is a certified FAA approved
program

Knowing pilots are inherently cheap, I can confidently say that most are
tempted to get excited about fewer training hours but answer these
questions: How many of the ¡§highest quality products¡¨ in the world come
from ¡§sweatshops¡¨ or the phrase ¡§FAA approved", how many high schools
let sophomores teach the freshman, and how many people put their best
into ¡§sweatshop¡¨ style jobs? NONE¡K¡Kand WHY? Do I really have to
explain?. Strangely, it is never advertised that most 141 students
don¡¦t actually earn those ratings quicker. Yet with all this, those at
the top of aviation continue to support these schools in the interest of
pumping out pilots.

ON the positive side, I have flown with many 141 graduates and most of
them have a great pilot inside dying to come out. In fact, many of
them have great unused skills and knowledge. The only problem is that
their school did them a disservice in their training. Years ago when
I was spending the winter in the Keys, I helped pump gas at an FBO and
was witness to one of the most ridiculous aviation spectacles ever seen.
Back then most every Saturday brought a flight of 10-15 Embry Riddle
planes to the Marathon airport that would somehow arrive together. I
watched this over and over trying to figure it out until I had to ask
one of the student pilots what was going on. It turned out they were
doing their long cross countries to one of two syllabus approved
airports; DAYTONA TO MARATHON KEY. Go look at a map and tell me what
you would learn doing this long cross country, flying down the beach in
formation with 12 or so others, while following the wealthiest airline
offspring who happens to have a GPS . Today whenever I run into an
Embry grad I mention this to them and they all know exactly what I am
talking about.

But what you may have missed in this example was the fact that these
schools are pumping out pilots like crazy. This is a great opportunity
in disguise. Our aviation organizations need to be bringing these
pilots into our flock with the intention of making ¡§real pilots¡¨ out of
them. If this were the case, we could have many more people on our
side. The option is to have a future majority of pilots who say scary
things like ¡§ I will never fly another small plane¡¨ and who will gladly
sell out our freedoms and theirs to go along with an airlines efforts to
get user fees passed. All because they believe it will save their
jobs. These are the pilots of tomorrow. Bring them in or be cursed by
them later.

Is there anything else that could be done? As long as the FAA
continues to support (promote) these programs it is unlikely. But if
aviation as a whole would insist on a change in their methods, something
could be done. My suggestions would be to make the hour requirement
for a CFI higher, and make any flight school eligible to instruct and
receive payment from students using student loans and grants. This
would encourage a more professional and qualified group of instructors
and create the opportunity for students to learn from smaller flying
oriented organizations.

Once again, we find ourselves asking "Why is it so?" . . .

Dear Mr. Pie,

You seem to have a problem with 141 schools. Do you have a clue as to
what a school must to to be a Part 141 school? If not
http://www.gofir.com/fars/part141/frame.htm

Just like Part 61 there are good and there are bad.

No. A 141 school is a flight school that holds an FAA part 141
certificate. Universities may or may not hold 141 certificates. The
main benefit of part 141 is the ability to finance through VA loans.
You can also get an instrument rating without the 50 hours cross
country time. Otherwise, its about the same for students. You cannot
tell if an operation is part 141 without asking or looking them up at
your FSDO.

This is very odd considering the FAA has never issued a license to
anyone. Technically you can earn your private pilot certificate in 35
hrs vs 40 at a 141 school but I've only met one student in my life who
took a checkride with less than 40 hours.
The rest of what you say is just plain baseless crap. You site no
studies or statistics to prove your point because there are none.

Not unless they;ve learned to shut the fuel off on takeoff, eh?

I got mine back in '70 from a small 141 operation and received my
certificate at just over 35 hours.

Cool. I think people seem to think that 141 schools are somehow large
training facilities. I would guess that the majority of 141 schools
are mom and pop FBOs. The biggest benefit of being 141 for these guys
is that VA will pay for training.

I teach at a 141 school and believe me I have had students finish in 35
hrs. If a student wants to do part 61, I teach that to the same
standards, same syllabus. Sure is nonsense to say it is all about
regulations, and less about real flying.

I think there are a lot of "shade tree" CFI's who feel like they teach
"real yank-n-bank" flying but don't understand regs. They want to feel
as though their students are somehow better than ours. Being able to
recite regs is just a part of modern aviation.

But surely you would agree to shutting off the fuel while teaching your "hot

Posting your opinion on the internet doesn't make it true. It still
does not show any evidence or studies to say that 141 schools are not
great. It also includes numerous factual errors.

No, just laughing a dumb ass because thinks our collective skills as pilots
are going to hell, because fly traffic patterns.

I assume you are classifying as rambling bull**** the FAR which govern
something you seem to have such a hard-on about, so yes one would hope
that if you were interested enough to come out of the woodwork and bash
something that you would take the couple of minutes to read the
regulation. THe fact that you didn't says a lot about you.

Also interesting that "all that crap" he snipped was less than 2/3 the number of words as his
original post!

I think you are confusing "141 schools" with "inexperienced pilots."
Many small flight schools are 141 schools -- many student loan programs
require that the school be part 141.

Frankly, I think it is presumptuous for anyone to come into a group of
pilots and to assume that we do not know what a 141 school is.

You did not make clear what your idea of a 'real' pilot is, either. I
doubt if you have a clear idea what the difference is between part 61
and part 141 syllabi. If you have a problem with the syllabi, let's
hear it. But I don't think you are going to make a lot of headway by
generalizations about "141 schools" or "big schools" or "schools with
beige-colored buildings."

What makes you think he really flies CJ. He probably got booted from a
141 school.
