NAVY ANNAPOLIS FLIGHT CENTER (NAVY ANNAPOLIS FLIGHT CENTER)

Part 141 Flight Schools train within a more structured environment than Part 61 schools. Certification as an FAA approved Flight School under Part 141 training is closely supervised by the FAA. Training under Part 141 regulations is permitted only by instructors associated with an FAA-approved flight school. In order to become approved, a flight school must meet certain requirements and submit each curriculum it wishes to have approved to the FAA for review. Part 141 approved schools are subject to regular inspections by the FAA and must meet minimum pass rates on the practical exams.,Flight schools certified under Part 61 offer a flexible training program. Training under Part 61 does not require students to complete a formal ground school. Students have the options of attending a ground school course, home-study program, or hiring an instructor to review and teach any materials they are having problems understandings. However, all students must pass the FAA Knowledge and Practical Tests for the particular certificate or rating. The regulations governing a flight school under FAR Part 61 are less strict than schools operating under FAR Part 141, and therefore require more minimum flight hours to obtain your certificate or rating.'
