H.R. 3371 “allow specific academic training courses to be credited pursuant to section 11(d) toward the total flight hours required to receive an airline transport pilot certificate.”
9
H.R. 3371 Response Considerations Where is the balance for collegiate aviation? – The recruitment and retention of students, vs. – The stability of the CFI workforce working with those students
11
ATP Aeronautical Experience Requirements (FAR 61.159) 1500 Hours Total Time – 500 Hours Cross-Country Time(33%) – 100 Hours Night Time(7%) – 75 Hours Instrument Time(5%) These requirements have been in place since a 1997 rule change…
12
Comparison between FAA and ICAO FAA - Cross-Country Definition for ATP (61.1) – (A) Conducted in an appropriate aircraft; – (B) That is at least a straight- line distance of more than 50 nautical miles from the original point of departure; and – (C) That involves the use of dead reckoning, pilotage, electronic navigation aids, radio aids, or other navigation systems. ICAO – Cross-Country Definition (Annex 1) – A flight between a point of departure and a point of arrival following a pre- planned route using standard navigation procedures. – No distance requirement mentioned
13
Comparison between FAA and ICAO FAA – ATP Aeronautical Experience (61.159) – 1500 Hours Total Time 500 Cross-Country Time 100 Night Time 75 Instrument Time ICAO – ATPL Experience (Annex 1, 2.6.3.1.1) – 1500 Hours Flight Time 200 Cross-Country Time 100 Night Time 75 Instrument Time Why is there a difference in the definition of Cross-Country Time? Why is there a difference in the actual hours required of Cross-Country Time?
14
CFI Experience Survey Purpose of Study – Assess the actual experience a typical CFI acquires in relation to the FAA ATP requirements. Participants – Hourly CFIs in a Part 141 environment (Convenient Sample) – N=200 Data received: – Total flight time – Cross country (50 nm) – Night – Instrument – Length of employment at UND – Career Aspirations
15
CFI Experience Survey Years of CFI employment at UND 5+ 1 3-5 11 2-374 1-285 <129 Does not take into consideration: – Part-time vs. full-time employment – Flight instruction employment at other schools/FBOs
16
CFI Experience Survey Aeronautical Experience Averages – Total flight time 864.9 – Cross-Country 218(25%) – Night115.3(13%) – Instrument73.6(9%) At this rate of accumulation, 2000 hours of TT would be needed to acquire the 500 hours of XC time. Percentage of XC time decreases the longer an individual acts as a CFI. (This is due to the amount of solo XC time required during initial flight training)
17
CFI Experience Survey 2.5% currently meet ATP minimums
18
CFI Experience Survey ATP Minimums Total flight time10% Night time46.5% Instrument time34.5%
19
CFI Experience Survey ATP Minimums Total flight time10% Night time46.5% Instrument time34.5% Cross-country time4.5%
21
So how could this impact flight training? Will CFIs conduct more cross country flights with students that would normally be local flights? – Will this increase training costs for the students? – Will it require a paradigm shift in how we currently conduct flight training? Change TCOs?
22
H.R. 3371 Considerations Current ATP requirements – FAA definition vs. ICAO definition – XC requirement CFIs employed at a Part 141 vs. Part 142 institution – More flight time logged at Part 141 institutions
23
Career Aspirations of Current CFIs When asked of their initial career aspirations 56% stated airline flying. Currently only 24% are still considering a career in airlines – Reasons include low pay at airlines, perceived state of the airline industry and life-style of airline pilot Current trend we are seeing from our CFIs – Military – Non-aviation related employment – Additional schooling (business courses)
