Modernizing Part 141 Rules for the Digital Age
The FAA has released a comprehensive report proposing major changes to Part 141 flight training regulations, aiming to modernize the rules for the digital age. The 471-page document, prepared by the National Flight Training Alliance, recommends a central management office, mandatory safety management systems, and the integration of virtual reality simulators. The proposed changes could have a significant impact on the industry, but the short 10-day public comment period has raised concerns. The report was first reported by AVweb, Aerotime, and the FAA.
