CHOOSE YOUR PATH
BY MIKE COLLINS
DIFFERENT
PATHS TO
THE SKY
Personal flying, or professional?
Are you interested in learning to fly
for personal reasons, or as a potential
career? ("Fun" is a perfectly valid personal reason.) Either way you eventually
have to pass the same tests, and demonstrate your flying skills to the same
standard for an initial pilot certificate.
But there are two paths to that destination, and one might offer benefits to
aspiring career pilots.
A new pilot can choose from several pilot
certificates. Sport pilot and recreational pilot
offer lower training requirements, but there are
limits on the privileges they grant. The private
pilot certificate is the gateway to additional
aviation credentials-like the instrument and
multiengine ratings, and commercial pilot certificate-that will be required for most flying jobs.
Some flight schools are certified under Part
141 of the federal aviation regulations-often
called "Part 141 schools"-and others operate
under Part 61. Although performance standards
are the same, Part 141 is more prescriptive,
with a more structured curriculum and other
requirements. The benefit is that the minimum
number of flight hours required for a certificate
or rating is lower for Part 141 training. And many
find the more structured Part 141 environment
to be good preparation for airline or other commercial flying.
Almost all colleges and universities that
offer aviation degree programs, and many large
commercial flight training operations, choose
to operate under Part 141. Part 141 pilot schools
must use a structured training program and
syllabus. The curriculum must be FAA-approved. These schools must provide flight
instructor oversight and dedicated training
facilities, and may provide a greater variety of
training aids.

TAYLOR DEEN
WHY I FLY
"I'll chat with someone at a party,
and then mention I fly blimps. They
immediately ask how to get a ride.
Everybody is happy and excited.
There's no other flying like it. It's
very hands-on, and there's a lot of
physical work to fly it."
Deen, a Goodyear senior airship pilot, is one
of only 22 blimp pilots in the United States.
