RE: Flight Training

Flight training may only be purchased from providers certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to train under FAR Part 141. Flight training may not be purchased from providers with FAA certification to train under FAR Part 61. FAR Part 141 certification establishes the provider as a school. A provider with FAR Part 61 certification is typically a business offering private flight lessons. Only providers certified under FAR Part 141 meet this agency’s regulation that training may only be purchased from appropriately accredited or licensed schools.

There are currently two schools in Kentucky which offer flight training. These schools are Aero Tech Inc., a private school in Lexington, and Eastern Kentucky University, a state school in Richmond.

Since similar vocational preparation is available through a state institution, tuition and fees assistance to Aero Tech, any other private school, or out-of-state school offering flight training may not exceed that allowed to the highest state institution. As aviation fees vary according to the level of licensure being pursued, please contact me for allowable tuition and fees assistance when training is not being pursued through Eastern Kentucky University.
