The Flight School Association of North America says the association is trying to mitigate effects of the government shutdown on some flight training providers, specifically FAA Part 141 and 142 training school authorizations set to soon expire. Without relief, some schools could be left providing training under Part 61 that does not allow for some reduced training time allowances. Interrupting an ATP student’s training, for example, could possibly jeopardize that pilot’s chances to qualify for a restricted ATP at a later date. The problem could also translate into increased training costs and possible furloughs for some training staff.
