The FAA wants to rewrite the rules for how pilots learn to fly

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is asking for public input on how to update its rules for pilot schools. This means the agency is considering changes to how new pilots are trained and certified.

The current rules for pilot schools are old. They were written for a time when flight training was very different. Updating these rules could make it easier for new training methods and technologies to be used, potentially speeding up how pilots get their licenses. This could also affect the cost of becoming a pilot.
