In this packed episode, we cover critical changes and tools shaping the future of flight instruction, certification, and aviation safety:

• FAA Part 141 Reform Tiers – A four-tiered system is being proposed with scalable privileges and qualifications—good news for small flight schools.

• FAA Handbook & Test Updates – Major handbook revisions and knowledge test changes are coming to reflect new FARs under MOSAIC.

• ProTips – Two-tier lesson planning, smarter IFR alternate filing, and how Starlink satellite phones can boost your off-airport survival strategy.
