It should be pretty obvious that you need to talk to the local FSDO about a 141 approval. You'll be sick of it by the time you're done- it is a highly regulated system and every single word in your Policy Manual, which will be 30+ pages has to be approved. This includes further approvals to change anything. Here are some typical areas that need to be covered in a Manual.
