16. Slide 16 PART 61 VS PART 141 Benefits of 141 Mandatory TCO Stage checks More Structure

17. Slide 17 PART 61 VS PART 141 Problem is – Large majority at Part 61 No Syllabus No Stage Checks No Light at the end of the tunnel #1 Common Complaint: CFI’s are: “Teaching by the seat of their pants” Standard opening line when CFI gets in the plane “what do you want to do today?” or “what did we do last time?”

18. Slide 18 PART 61 VS PART 141 - WHAT CFI’S SAY “As a CFI - I don’t have access to a syllabus without paying a “bunch” of money.” The Cessna Pilot Center CFI’s and Cirrus Standardized Instructors (CSI’s) found at Cirrus Training Centers don’t have an excuse. Except that some students are refusing to shell out the big bucks initially for the “training kits”. Guess what? No training kit = NO SYLLABUS!

19. Slide 19 PART 141 VS PART 61 CFI taught at a Part 141 University System When he joined he was given a full orientation on how to use the TCO / Syllabus University had a system set up that the student/cfi and even airplane could not be dispatched after a lesson if the TCO wasn’t checked off electronically CFI was allowed to deviate from the TCO in certain areas which gave the CFI flexibilityCFI used the TCO to the letter CFI then went to work at a small flight school that WAS 141 Certificated. Never saw a syllabus. Ended up using Jeppesen for his students. CFI now teaches at a Part 61 Cirrus Training Center that specializes in just Cirrus training, school uses its own TCO and has a 90% pass rate on its Private and Instrument Students

20. Slide 20 POSSIBLE SOLUTION Give CFI’s a FREE syllabus! Faasafety.gov Free Syllabus that everyone can track and linked up to the WINGS system. Up their game. Free access to CFI’s on board. National campaign (use the free syllabus – it benefits you and your students).

21. Slide 21 POSSIBLE SOLUTION FAA to make a “basic syllabus”. All the supporting material for tracking progress, not just the outline of what needs to be taught. It’s the tools you need to teach it. FAA could grant to SAFE to build one. Work with FAAsafety.gov to integrate.
