91 vs 141

[NJACrewservicer]

I know this question should probably be asked on the general board, but I work with Netjets and know some of you guys and thought you could help me out.


I currently have my private and would like to continue my flying education. I have no dreams of becoming a pilot for a living..... only enjoy the scenery.

For a commercial ticket--- Part 91 states that you must have 250 hours before taking your ride. Part 141 states that you only need 190 hours.

Regarding part 141-- Of those 190 hours, do all of them have to be completed in a part 141 school? Or, is it just the commercial part of the training that must be completed in a part 141 program.

Just looking to define the gray area.

Thanks

Dusting off the ancient CFI hat: You should receive credit for your previous hours if you join a Part 141 training program. As long as the school and syllabus are Part 141 approved and you meet the other criteria (complex, instrument, cross-country, etc.), the lower 141 flight time minima should apply for all training done in that program.

141 is a training program. Kind of like when you go duck hunting in canada vs the united states. In one place you can kill as many as you want. The other you can't.

---wow a real stretch for a duck hunting reference. Good to see you yesterday..

BTW check on NJ's flight school. I think they are probably 141 approved.

Hey Diesel, where do you duck hunt? In the western flyway it is 7 ducks of which only 2 can be Mallard hens and one Pintail of either sex. We are still shoot geese (4 light 4 dark), however, at he end of February.

I need to go to Canada.

WTF ... nice stretch for the duck hunting analagy.

The only duck Diesel knows about is Duck al'orange!

Is a Duck in the hand better than two Ducks in the Bush??? How does that fit into the analogy????

Part 91 doesn't say anything about the number of hours required for a commercial certificate. I think you mean "Part 61".
