Flight Instructor Enhanced Qualification Training Program (FIEQTP): Preparation and Approval

This information collection is submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to request a three-year approval clearance for the information collection entitled “Flight Instructor Enhanced Qualification Training Program: Preparation and Approval.” The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is publishing a final rule to revise part 61 by creating two new qualification options for flight instructors to train initial flight instructor applicants, in addition to retaining the original qualification parameters as an option. Flight instructors seeking to instruct initial flight instructor applicants must satisfy one option to meet qualification requirements and, therefore, may choose between the three. One new option is the successful completion of an FAA-approved flight instructor enhanced qualification training program (FIEQTP), which may be offered by a part 141 pilot school or part 142 training center under the respective part. In order for training providers to offer an FIEQTP, they must submit specific course information to the FAA for approval. Additionally, the final rule requires part 141 pilot schools and part 142 training centers that offer an FIEQTP to provide certain documentation to its graduates.

The latest form for Flight Instructor Enhanced Qualification Training Program (FIEQTP): Preparation and Approval expires 2028-12-31 and can be found here.
