Part141

[FlyBoyJae]

i was just reading the part 141 for instrument rating and commercial license....and got a bit confused.

when i got to the commerical section, it said that students must be "Concurrently" enrolled for instrument rating. what does that mean?

and also, do we need 150 hours of training time to get commercial license under part 141? is that total 150 training hours? or 150hours of training for commercial license?

FAR is a bit confusing

for part 141 you need a total of 190 hours to get your commercial, out of those 190 hours, 50 of those hours has to
be x-country time.
I hope that helps

At Ohio State they do it kinda weird. You take your first two labs to get your PPL. then you take your first commercial lab. then you take the instrument courses.

Yeah, MTSU does some crazy crap like that....a "cross country" lab or something another. You just kinda fly around solo, so I'm not sure why they make you do .....

Ah-ha!!! you have to pay tuition, that's right!!!

Crooked bastages...

At Purdue they make the x-country a summer lab, that you can do at home at your local FBO..... they're not 141, though

Concurrently - at the same time. I think the rest is self-explanatory.

Who is "we"? The funny thing about Part 141 is that it's different for every school. Phoenix East in DAB has a Comm program that is only 50 hours, but they're one of like only three in the country that has that. It pretty much elimantes the x/c time, but everything else is still there. When I was looking into switch to 141 to finish up my commercial, I was looking at different schools to try to get a ballpark $$ figure. Everyone was so different, I gave up on the ballpark figure and went back to Part 61. It would have cost me about the same for my training through some of the 141 schools as I'm paying now, but I would have had about 50 fewer total hours.
