| FLIGHT LESSON |
ACTIVITIES AND OBJECTIVES |
| lesson #1 |
Dual Instruction. Use of the checklist and safety considerations of
engine starting and runup. Use of control inputs necessary for leveling off and maintaining altitude
in turns and level flight. |
| lesson #2 |
Dual Instruction. Preflight activities, including engine start, taxi,
and engine runup. Straight-and-level flight, climbs and descents, and control of airspeed with
power and attitude. Traffic pattern entry. Control of airplane's ground track during crosswind
conditions. |
| lesson #3 |
Dual Instruction. Climbs, glides, turns, straight-and-level flight,
and maneuvering during slow flight. Maintaining airspeed within 10 knots and heading within 20
degrees of that desired. Traffic pattern departure and entry procedures and the use of the
appropriate wind correction angles necessary to maintain specific ground tracks. |
| lesson #4 |
Dual Instruction. Practice maneuvers. Maintaining airspeed
within 10 knots. Loss or gain of altitude will be restricted to within 200 feet and heading control
within 20 degrees while in straight-and-level flight. |
| lesson #5 |
Dual Instruction. Ground reference maneuvers. Proper
techniques for wind drift correction and entry to maneruvers. Maintain a specific ground track
while in straight flight. Stalls and recovery with a minimum loss of altitude. |
| lesson #6 |
Dual Instruction. Emergencies and the procedures necessary for
safe conduct of flight. During changes in airspeed and configuration, altitude will be maintained
within 175 feet and heading within 20 degrees. |
| lesson #7 |
Progress Check by Chief Flight Instructor. Proficient performance
of all of the basic flight maneuvers. Maintain altitude withing 150 feet, heading within 15 degrees
and airspeed control within 5 knots of preselected airspeed. Evaluation will be based on
smoothness and judgment in all maneuvers. |
| lesson #8 |
Dual Instruction. Wake turbulence avoidance and the handling of
electrical system emergencies. Preparation for solo flight. Review of basic maneuvers. Maintain
altitude within 150 feet, heading within 10 degrees and airspeed within 5 knots of that
desired. |
| lesson #9 |
Dual Instruction. Practice maneuvers and procedures, including
ground reference maneuvers and proper wind drift correction necessary for solo flight. |
| lesson #10 |
Solo Flight. Student will fly first solo flight in the traffic pattern with
3 takeoffs and landings. |
| lesson #11 |
Progress Check by Chief Flight Instructor. The student will
display the proficiency and competency rquired to act as pilot in command of the aircraft on
subsequent solo flights. An understanding and demonstration of proper radio procedures, traffic
procedures on the ground, and traffic pattern entry and departure at the airport will be
required. |
| lesson #12 |
Dual Instruction. Short-field and soft-field approaches and
landings. VOR navigation equipment. |
| lesson #13 |
Solo Flight. Solo review and practice of assigned
maneuvers. |
| lesson #14 |
Dual Instruction. Night flight. Maintain altitude within 100 feet,
heading within 10 degrees, airspeed within 5 knots on all approaches for night landings. Night
emergencies. |
| lesson #15 |
Solo Flight. Solo review and practice of assigned
maneuvers. |
| lesson #16 |
Progress Check by Chief Flight Instructor. The student will display
the ability to maintain specific ground tracks, execute stall recoveries with a minimum altitude loss,
and perform short-field and soft-field takeoffs and landings using correct procedures. During the
use of radar vectors and DF steers, the student will be able to follow controller instructions while
maintaining altitude within 100 feet and assigned heading within 10 degrees. |
| lesson #17 |
Dual Cross Country. Cross country flight with landing more than
50 nautical miles from point of departure. Operations include preflight action, flight planning,
weather analysis, use of available publications, pilotage, dead-reckoning and radio
navigation. |
| lesson #18 |
Solo Cross Country. Solo repeat of previous cross country. |
| lesson #19 |
Progress Check by Chief Flight Instructor. Examination of the
student's ability to plan and execute a cross-country flight. |
| lesson #20 |
Dual Night Cross Country. Cross country flight at night with total
distance at least 100 nautical miles. Operations include preflight action, flight planning, weather
analysis, use of available publications, pilotage, dead-reckoning, instrument flight and radio
navigation. |
| lesson #21 |
Solo Cross Country. This second solo cross country is of
increased distance and duration, utilizing pilotage, dead--reckoning, and radio navigation. |
| lesson #22 |
Solo Cross Country. This third solo cross country is at least 150
nautical miles with landings at a minimum of 3 points, one of which is at least 50 nautical miles
from the original point of departure. |
| lesson #23 |
Dual Instruction. Practice and review of designated maneuvers
and procedures in preparation for the private pilot practical flight test. |
| lesson #24 |
Solo Flight. Solo review of maneuvers and procedures. |
| lesson #25 |
Progress Check by Chief Flight Instructor. Evaluation of the
student's proficiency in the maneuvers and procedures required to successfully complete the
private pilot practical flight test. Additionally, radar services for use by VFR pilots are
introduced. |
| lesson #26 |
Dual Instruction. Review of maneuvers and procedures required
to successfully complete the private pilot practical flight test. |
| lesson #27 |
Solo Flight Solo review of maneuvers and procedures required
to successfully complete the private pilot practical flight test. |
| lesson #28 |
Final Progress Check by Chief Flight Instructor. Evaluation to
determine if the student has acquired the proficiency level required to successfully complete the
private pilot practical flight test. |
| Flight Test |
FAA Private Pilot Practical Flight Test. With all paper work
complete, including the passage of the FAA written exam, the student schedules a testing date
with a designated FAA Flight Examiner. The 3-4 hour test includes an oral exam on the ground
and 2 hour flight test in the air. |
