INTRODUCTION
Before you begin flight training, it is important to have a basic understanding
of the responsibilities, safety regulations, and issues applicable to such an
endeavor. This includes the choice of a flight school, selected study
materials, study habits, and the role of the instructor, student, and Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA).
Role of the FAA
Congress empowered the FAA to foster aviation safety by prescribing safety
standards for civil aviation. This is accomplished through the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFRs).
Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 61 pertains to
the certification of pilots, flight instructors, and ground instructors. This
prescribes the eligibility, aeronautical knowledge, flight proficiency, and
experience required for each type of pilot certificate issued.
Flight Standards District Offices (FSDOs)
Throughout the world, the FAA has approximately 100 Flight Standards
District Offices and International Field Offices, commonly referred to as
“FSDOs” and “IFOs.” Through these offices, information and services are
provided for the aviation community. In the U.S., FSDO phone numbers
are listed in the blue pages of the telephone directory under United States
Government Offices, Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation
Administration. Another convenient method is using the FSDO Locator
available on the Regulatory Support Division’s web site.

Most Frequently Asked Questions
The Most Frequently Asked Questions section on page 10 of this guide,
lists typical questions, with answers, asked by student pilots. If your
question is not answered, we suggest that you contact your local FSDO.
The FSDO will be able to furnish current information regarding changes
in procedures or revisions to regulations.

Choosing a Flight School
Most airports have facilities for flight training conducted by flight schools
or individual flight instructors. A school will usually provide a wide variety
of training material, special facilities, and greater flexibility in scheduling.
Many colleges and universities also provide flight training as a part of
their curricula.
There are two types of flight schools catering to primary general aviation
needs. One is normally referred to as a certificated “part 141 school” and
the other as a “part 61 school.” A part 141 school has been granted an Air
Agency Certificate by the FAA. The certificated schools may qualify for a
ground school rating and a flight school rating. In addition, the school may
be authorized to give their graduates practical (flight) tests and knowledge
(computer administered written) tests. AC 140-2HH, FAA Certificated Pilot
Schools Directory, lists certificated ground and flight schools and the pilot
training courses each school offers. For ordering information, refer to the
How to Obtain Study Materials section on page 6 of this guide. Another
convenient method is through the Internet at the FAA’s Regulatory and
Guidance Library web site.

Enrollment in a certificated school usually ensures quality and continuity
of training. These schools meet prescribed standards with respect to
equipment, facilities, personnel, and curricula. Many excellent flight
schools find it impractical to qualify for the FAA part 141 certificate and
are referred to as part 61 schools. One difference between a part 141 school
and a part 61 school is that fewer flight hours are required to qualify for a
pilot certificate in a part 141 certificated school. The requirement for a
private pilot certificate is 40 hours in a part 61 school and 35 hours in a
part 141 certificated school. This difference may be insignificant for a
private pilot certificate because the national average indicates most pilots
require 60 to 75 hours of flight training.
The FSDO will provide information on the location of pilot training
facilities in your area. A current file is maintained on all schools within
each FSDO’s district. You make the decision on where to obtain flight
training. You may want to make a checklist of things to look for in a school.
Talking to pilots and reading articles in flight magazines can help you in
making your checklist and in the evaluation of a training facility.
