Danbury Municipal Gets a Part 141 Tenant, Doors Open October 17

Epic Flight Academy is bringing a Part 141 training operation to Danbury Municipal Airport in Connecticut and will open it on October 17. Owners will know what that designation means: an FAA-approved curriculum, a structured syllabus and stage checks, unlike the looser Part 61 arrangement. A certificated school on a field adds a steady, scheduled kind of presence alongside the based aircraft already there. For anyone who keeps an airplane at DXR or flies in regularly from elsewhere in the Northeast, the date to note is the 17th. Training under 141 is organized and rule-bound, and that is a good fit for a well-run municipal field.
