Do use caution when choosing. It is much easier to get the student visa for a FAR 141 school, especially if it deals with international students frequently. You may also qualify for some financing that way as well. After choosing a school, go to www.flightschoolcandidates.gov You will need their approval before being allowed to begin training.

What is the difference between part 141 and part 61 ??

 

[FlyinDude]

The primary difference between Part 141 and 61 is the curriculum and training methods they use. Part 61 is your typical local FBO with a couple CFI's. Part 141 requires special certification and is much more regulated by the FAA. As such, it allows a 141 school to train and certify their pilots in much less time (i.e. 190 hours for commercial as opposed to 250) which also means saving some bucks. Usually a busy training environment with several stage checks along the way. A 141 school will have more financial options for their students and usually offers college credit for courses completed. This is possible because the 141 school is viewed as a 'higher education' center instead of a local FBO. Back to the point i intended, however, it is usually easier to obtain the flight training visa for a 141 school than a 61 school.

I hope this helps on your quest. I also suggest looking at www.ScottsdaleFlightAcademy.com Their website does a good job of explaining what kind of things you should look for in a flight school and what charcteristics you should aviod when choosing a flight school.

Any Q's feel free to PM me.

it sounds like you will probably do a JAA course so the 141/61 wont apply to you.

orlando flight training is about 90% JAA and we speacialise in that

Flight Safety in Vero Beach, FL hands down is the best. Great Maintenance, airplanes but expensive.

Some great advice in the previous posts no doubt. Find something that includes housing. Prarie Air does and that other place that includes the hotel in FL does. Stay away from DCA, Pan Am, RAA or similar. Try not to spend more than 40 grand U.S. $$ for the Commercial. What country are you from?

Riverside Flight Center in Tulsa, OK is a good spot. Check out www.riversideflightcenter.com British owned and operated by an FAA/JAA ATP. Full Part 141 or Part 61 courses and affiliation with a school in the UK for your conversions. Lots of opinions on PPrune...

I am surprised that nobody mentioned the fastest way to the right seat of a regional airliner. www.gulfstreamacademy.com

I'll throw on a recomendation: http://www.pea.com Phoenix East Aviation. They're advertisement is all big words and promises, but the actual flight school is much better. They have a very large fleet of almost brand new C172 (2000-2003-models), all equipped with IFR/GPS and autopilot. That means you'll train in equally equipped airplanes each and every time, and the only thing stopping you from flying is weather. Its also a very international school, most of the students are from overseas, as well as many of the instructors. That means Phoenix East allready have good connections within the immigration department, and good procedural experience with handling TSA and other things foreigners need to worry about. They're a part 141 school, so you can also complete your training at slightly less cost than part 61, but you'll only graduate with approx. 200 hours, but with all licenses (MEI/CFII). They also hire their own instructor graduates, so you can leave after two years on J1-visa, with 800-1000 hours, if you're doing average.
