From what Ive heard the new R-ATP exemption is not going to be easy for all of the part 141 University flight schools to attain from the FAA. I know my school may have to restructure entire degree programs just to meet the requirements and for the students to be eligible for the R-ATP. In order to get the exemption the degree program must have a certain amount of credit hours built in that are for aviation specific classes and cover certain material outlined in AC 61-139. So it is the aviation specific classes that makes students eligible for the R-ATP and thats what separates the degrees from the approved schools and say an engineering degree from any other university.
