Niteshade Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hello, I currently hold a PPL RTC with 100 hours towards instrument and commercial ratings. I did all this training prior to starting college last fall, and I am in a situation where it doesn't make much sense to complete by flight training at the school I started at. From what I understand, most schools, my previous one included, are very partial to hiring their own graduates, and there is no way I could continue to go to college and get some work as a CFI, which is my goal, by staying at my school. Luckily, there is another school which I have heard nothing but good about near a university I am transferring to next year, so I am hoping to finish my training there and have at least some shot at becoming a CFI part time while I finish college, which I would find very ideal. Is there anything special involved in this process? Does all my training cross over? I don't see why it shouldn't, but this is the FAA so a guy just can't be too sure. I'm going to talk to the new school in a few days, but I wanted to get a heads-up about this, and would greatly appreciate any input. Thanks!

Helibear Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hi, I would say a flight hour is a flight hour. And 14 CFR is the same in all US states. You shouldn´t have any problems with that. As long everything is well documented ...I have no idea if it is possible to work as a parttime CFI. But I´m interested to. Is there anybody here doing that ?

specialized Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 no problem if its a part 61 program you are moving between. for part 141, you would need acurate records and only certain hours will count You could go from a part 141 to a part 61 and keep all of the hours but not nessasarly the other way around.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that when transferring over to a 141 program, the school may honor up to 100% of the previous training depending on the student's proficiency, flight records, similar aircraft, etc. I'd give you a more definite answer, but I'm getting ready to move to another Post and can't locate my FAR/AIM. Good Luck, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircav Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Niteshade,Word. Part 61 vs. 141. They don't have to accept but half. Prove yourself in a checkride and they may accept more. About your college transfer. Call 928-777-6692 and inquire about the Helicopter Program at ERAU. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
