Part 141 vs Part 61 - Which is best?
Air Trek North training is already based on part 141 standards but Part 61 is by far the fastest and least expensive route to get your FAA pilot certificates.
A couple of words on Part 141 vs Part 61 to debunk the myths.
1. Part 141 will always cost more money, usually almost double. Part 141 will always take longer, usually quadruple the calendar time. If you have unspent GI Bill money, Part 141 is the way to go. Part 141 used to be a good route if you were going to the airlines as you would get your certificates while going to College. A college degree used to be required by Delta, American and United. Part 141 is no longer the best route to the airlines unless you have GI Bill money to spend and aren't worried about the time frame. No airline in the United States requires a 4 year college degree as of early spring 2022.
2. Part 61 is the way to go if you are trying to get the identical FAA Pilot Certificates at a fraction of the cost without the timeline of a 4yr or 5yr college degree. The Airlines accept Part 61 and Part 141 students. You will get to the airlines in a fraction of the time if you train under Part 61 instead of Part 141. What is a fraction of the time? 6-9 months is what it will take to get all your pilot ratings from Private Pilot to Single and Multi-Engine Commercial if you come in and treat it seriously, 8hrs/day.
