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: Private, 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. 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.

“Phoenix East made dreams come true. As a former flight student and flight instructor at Phoenix East Aviation, I have to give PEA all the credit for making my dreams come true. Phoenix East provided me with very professional and timely flight training. Included in my course was the B-727 airline training program that prepared me for the big jets and an airline job. The fact that I was given the opportunity to work as an instructor after graduation made me obtain the necessary experience and flight hours to become eligible for an airline job. In my Scandinavian Airlines interview, the Captain made a great point of me being a graduate of Phoenix East Aviation. He said that he had seen a lot of highly qualified applicants come from Phoenix East. Well, I got the job.
Today I’m a First Officer on an MD-88 for Scandinavian Airlines and I love it.”

Joe Walmann, FO MD88 SAS, Vestmarka, Norway
