Facts are copied from each school's own website on the checked date shown; rates and programs change often, so confirm with the school before you enroll. Part 141 status comes only from the FAA's air agency certificate file (av-info.faa.gov, newest record July 26, 2024). The FAA's current list is the AVInfo Find a Facility dashboard. A school not matched in that file is marked "not checked", which does not mean it trains only under Part 61.
