So sure, I do believe because of that structured and more in-depth training, yeah there should be a reduction. I say this with both a 61 and 141 background.

‘Sure I’ll give you that the structure environment and tight restrictions at Part 141 universities and handicap students some limiting exposures to a more challenging operating environment and lack of flexibility can lead to slower area development of decision making. But the lack of Hand Flying thing, come on man. That’s showing up from all backgrounds even military…. I tell you what, I enjoyed teaching in a 61 environment with my background as a military vet, Part 61 and 141 uni student. I was able to create a structured training plan for my students and leverage the flexibility of Part 61 to really tailor their training for them.
