Training framework
FAA reference & course scope
A current helicopter-course approval is not established by the available roster evidence. An absent or unresolved match does not show that the school is closed or that instruction is unavailable. Ask which Part 61 or Part 141 syllabus applies to the course, and cross-check the provider on faa.gov.
Part 61 describes certification and training requirements; it is not a school certification. Part 141 approvals are specific to the school and approved courses.
