FAA Courses

F.A.R. Part 141

The F.A.R. Part 141 program offers professional training through an FAA approved curriculum.

Flight Schools can hold a F.A.R. Part 141 designation only if the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approves the school and training syllabus. With strict adherence to FAA standards, the quality of student performance is measured through progressive flight exams during training (phase checks). All training is documented and maintained to FAA standards.

Professional flight instruction is Phoenix East's specialty. We offer complete and comprehensive training, designed for the professional, career-minded pilot. A proven curriculum with excellent instruction provides the foundation for a successful career in aviation. In fact, Phoenix East operates similar to most major airlines and corporate flight departments in training techniques. The result is a more proficient, thoroughly-trained pilot. The instruction is complete, professional, safe AND provided at a lower cost than most other schools.

F.A.R. 141 PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM I: Instrument, Commercial, Multi-Engine, CFI, CFII, Glass Cockpit training.

F.A.R. 141 PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM III: Similar to Professional Program I, Program III emphasizes multi-engine training. Most single-engine time is replaced by advanced multi-engine instruction.

 

F.A.R. 141 COMMERCIAL/INSTRUMENT COURSE

F.A.R. Part 61

For students with flight experience or ground school, FAR 61 can give you credit toward a license or rating.

Many pilots do not fit into a set flight training course or program. Whether you are a Private Pilot with 60 hours or a Commercial / Instrument Pilot with 3,000 hours, your time and experience are very valuable and save hundreds of dollars towards your next rating or certificate. Phoenix East differs from other flight schools for such a pilot: We spend that extra time with you to evaluate your logbook and create a program that is cost-effective. Our qualified staff of professionals carefully evaluate your experience and design a program specific to your needs. These programs are extremely helpful when converting military and helicopter experience to a fixed wing rating. We also work with many countries to convert their licenses to F.A.A. requirements. Through such a custom program, you gain proficiency with precise training, targeted to your needs, which results in time and money saved.

My name is Jason Prestigiacomo and I’m a First Officer for United Express Airlines, operated by Air Wisconsin Airlines. I’m currently based in Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport flying the CRJ. This assignment was made easier because of the flight training I received at Phoenix East Aviation, Daytona Beach, Florida. Career instructors like other flight schools do not run the flight department at PEA. Former airline pilots run it. These pilots have built up thousands of hours in some of the world’s largest and most advanced airliners and know first hand how to make the transition into the airline industry. All of the training is based upon airline standards, which makes things much easier when you step into your first airline or corporate job.
 
I looked into other flight schools and selected PEA because of their laid-back operation and job placement statistics. I attained all of my certificates and ratings at PEA, and then took a job with them as a Flight Instructor in 2001. If your goal is to become a Boeing 747 Captain or just a weekend pilot, Phoenix East Aviation is the school for you.
