Creates a Department of Transportation apprenticeship program with FAA Part 141–certified flight training providers to build a steady pipeline of future commercial pilots. Participating schools may select up to 8 apprentices per academic year, unless the Secretary approves a higher number.
Apprentices must complete the Part 141 curriculum and requirements to graduate. The Secretary must issue regulations within one year of enactment, report annually to Congress on program outcomes, and encourage retired/retiring pilots and program graduates to serve as instructors, mentors, or advisors.
