Abstract	This study used public policy implementation framework to examine issues of policy implementation at higher educational institutions and the educational change that is required as well as the capacity to carry out the policy and the stakeholders crafting the policy. The theoretical framework is based upon Fullan's Factors affecting the policy implementation approach and how he links implementation, to the issue of educational change (2015). Through the use of data from the Aviation Accreditation Board International (AABI), this study used descriptive and inferential statistics along with qualitative research to analyze the survey. The survey was sent to accredited and non-accredited members of the Aviation Accreditation Board International and examined three research questions: (1) To what extent has the implementation of Public Law 111-216 impacted your institutions professional flight program as it relates to course curriculum, possible changes in the program, and additional training for teachers?; (2) To what extent has Public Law 111-216 led to unintended consequences, such as an increase or decrease in enrollment, prolonged graduation rates, and student retention rate?; The study suggests that Public Law 111-216 is not achieving what it was intended too, prevent fatal airline aviation accidents. It does, however, provide for graduating professional pilots to serve as Certified Flight Instructors until they accumulate the required 1000 hours for a Restricted Airline Transport Pilot Certificate needed to gain employment at a Regional Airline. The study suggests that a Public Law 111-216 creates a negative impact on pilot students who completed a four-year professional degree program from an AABI accredited higher education institution through the increase in total hours flown and not the quality of hours operated. It also suggests that higher education institutions are incurring additional costs to implement the law. The study indicates that the only person benefiting from Public Law 111-216 is a higher education institution and the number of Certified Flight Instructor's they produce.The study suggests that Federalism with a delegated approach from the Executive Branch of Government is not always the best way to train a student to become a professional pilot.
