For my Part 61 student: he soloed at his flight school. The Chief Flight Instructor (My boss) agreed to give him up to 1/4 credit from his previous experience. He had to do our pre-solo stage, but for each lesson, needed to show proficiency with each line item once. I then re-soloed him.
For the Part 141 student: he got credit for most of his experience since he was Part 141 and soloed already. Basically had to do a couple flights with him for stage 1 (pre-solo stage) to get him used to ERAU and the local area. I did not have to re-solo him.
Anybody real close to the end of their private training may opt to finish as Part 61 with an ERAU instructor, then take a Part 61 ride with a DPE. (We couldn't do this as a Part 142. A new course was made for that particular student.)
Anybody walking in with a license in hand will go through a Riddle standardization course.
Hope that helps clear up the confusion.
That sounds totally different that what they told us in DAB. Basically, if you didn't have your license totally done, they made you start from the beginning. Had a friend who came in with like 10 hours, and they told him to throw his old log book away, because it was "worthless".
You guys do a standardization course out there in PRC? I wish they would have done that in DAB. I came in with my private, and just got thrown into the instrument course. Instructor chewed me out the first flights, because I was "doing everything wrong". It wasn't wrong to me, I just didn't know how Riddle wanted to complicate everything.
