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 pilots are trained and certified in the United States.

The current rules for pilot schools are old. They were written for a time when flight training was very different. New technologies and teaching methods have emerged. This move could make it easier for new pilot schools to operate and for existing ones to adopt modern training techniques. It could also affect the cost and speed of becoming a pilot.
