Pilot schools can finally update how they train pilots

The US aviation regulator is asking for public input on how to modernize rules for pilot schools. This means schools could soon use new training methods and technologies that were previously restricted.

For decades, pilot schools have been stuck using outdated training methods because the rules were written for a different era. This change could allow them to adopt modern simulation technology and teaching approaches. It could make pilot training faster, cheaper, and more effective, potentially increasing the supply of new pilots.
