Good evening folks...

I am not familiar with a lot of what you talking about as I am a Canadian and we have our own Air Regs and Air Nav Orders etc.
But I am a little curious on a couple of things and I hope I don't stray you too far off topic.

An ab-intio student, would they receive a tax break on their income tax if they go through a Certified Flying School versus an ab-intio student who does not.

When a person who applies for pilot training and I am talking about someone who is steadily employed, when they pass all their tests, can they claim their training as lets say educational and get money back on their income tax.

Would a company who wishes to purchase an aircraft and have one of their employees trained to commercial standards, would both parties benefit with tax breaks.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Now its getting trickier. Not being a "tax professional", either in the US or Canada, I wouldn't dare guess on this one.

190 hours is accurate for 141 schools, 250 for part 61. Unless it's changed in recent years. I'm in bad need of a new FAR/AIM manual.

I think there is some confusion here, due to a simple error in rotty's post. The commercial rating requires 250 hours for 61 students, and 90 for 141 students.

It's 190 (total time)... can't seem to find the exact "chapter and verse" in the FARs... which is odd; Part 141 is more about the schools, whereas 61 is specifically about pilot certificate requirements. Never did enjoy reading the FARS... Grin

But I have heard this from more than one person who "should know"; I am confident it is 190, not 90.

And now I am posting errors, I meant 190. In your earlier post you had transposed the hours for 61 and 141.

Duh... fixed that; thanks.
