California Aeronautical University (CAU) is proud to announce its Phoenix campus recently received FAA Part 141 approval. This federal recognition demonstrates the structured flight training CAU offers and allows eligible students to take advantage of time and cost savings.
Structure Flight Training at CAU
Awarded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Part 141 approval signifies that CAU Phoenix has met strict federal regulations regarding its structured flight training curriculum, training facility, and flight instructors.
This approval helps each student at CAU Phoenix receive consistent, high-quality instruction and enables students to meet important flight milestones and ensure quality at various stages throughout their training.
Benefits to CAU Students
Additionally, Part 141 approval provides significant benefits to students who earn a bachelor’s degree. Eligible CAU graduates can benefit from a 500 flight-hour reduction when seeking their airline transport pilot (ATP) certification while also reducing the minimum age for eligibility.
While candidates without a bachelor’s degree typically need 1,500 flight hours and must be at least 23 years old to be eligible for their ATP, eligible CAU graduates can qualify for a restricted ATP (R-ATP) with only 1,000 flight hours at the age of 21.
These crucial career time-saving benefits put CAU graduates in the pipeline for jobs much quicker than other candidates for positions at airlines.
