Part 61 and Part 141 are the training laws outlined by the Code of Federal Aviation Regulations. These are the two different pilot training rules which provide different flight hours and requirements for obtaining private and commercial pilot certificates. Under Part 61, a student is required to have a minimum of 40 hours prior to their checkride to obtain a private license and 250 hours to obtain a commercial license. Under Part 141, a student is eligible to obtain a private license with 35 hours and a commercial license with 190 hours. Another differentiating factor is that Part 141 schools are audited by the FAA and have detailed guidelines for pilot training. We offer both Part 61 and 141 training.
