Part 141 MEI course

[purdueflyer]

Can anyone suggest a 141 school that has an MEI course?

I think American Flyers and ATP are both 141 schools with locations throughout the US.

I'm sure you could do it just as quick under part 61, though. Check out a local FBO and see if they offer MEI training.

unless this is a financial aid issue that requires 141 certification, getting your mei through 141 is really pretty useless. the normal mei course gives you 5 hours in the aircraft, and at the most 10. very short and pretty easy. no real need for 141 unless, like i said, it is for financial aid reasons.

I am a staunch supporter of 141 schools or any other kind of structured, organized program. In this situation, unless you're already enrolled in a 141 program and/or do not have your CFI, I would just go the Part 61 route. The MEI is the easiest CFI add-on. The oral will likely focus heavily on systems and Vmc, though you might be hit with a few FOI questions. You can already fly out of the right seat, so it is essentially a Commercial-Multi from that seat. Of course, some examiners might ask you to demonstrate some instrument work. But, otherwise, there really is no reason to spend the extra money.

I just would add that there are people and programs in which the initial CFI and CFI-I is earned in the multi. I think that's a great plan, especially if you are fresh off earning your Commercial-Instrument in the multi. Do that, and all you need is a simple single to add your Commercial Single and CFI-A to your certificates.

Hope that helps some more. Good luck with your MEI.

We do not do MEI training under 141 at American Flyers. We do CMEL under 141.

and the correct website is www.americanflyers.net


Good Luck to you.
