PRiEF"ACEThe Private PiJot Syl1abus has been specificallydeveloped to meet the requirements of Title 14 CFR,Part 141. The syllabus should be considered as an

abstract or digest of the course of training. As such, it is important thatinstructors also refer to the pertinent sections of the regulations dur-ing the conduct of the course. This will ensure that aIl aeronauticalknowledge areas, flight proficiency, and experience requirementshave been included during flight training and are documented inappropriate records. The terminology for maneuvers and procedureslisted in the syllabus is aligned with the "tasks" which are publishedin the FAA's Prívate Pilot Practical Test Standards.

The syllabus has separate ground and flight training courses whichare taught concurrently. The ground training syllabus is divided intothree stages and contains a total of 17 ground lessons. The flight train-ing syIlabus also is divided into three stages and contains a total of 26flight lessons. A stage check is shown at the end of each stage of flighttraining, and a stage exam is shown at the end of each stage of groundtraining. A presolo written exam is included befare the first super-vised solo. In addition, end-of-course knowledge tests and an end-of-course flight check are included in the syllabus prior to theconclusion of the respective ground and flight segments. The End-of-Course Flight Check is completed at the end of Stage III.The applicantmust complete, or receive credit for, all of the ground and flightlessons in the Private Pilot Syl1abus.

In concert with long-standing recommendations by both governmentand the general aviation industry, technological advances, such ascomputer-aided training, are incorporated into this syllabus. Use of aPersonal Computer-Based Aviation Training Device (PCATD) forintroductory and skill enhancement purposes is recommended forspecified ground lessons. Use of the Private PiJot ManeuversMultimedia Training also is recommended. Operators who wish toutilize either or both of these options should check the appropriatebox(es) when they apply for Training Course Outline (TCO) approval.The student copy of the syIlabus also should be marked accordingly.

O This SyIlabus utilizes a PCATD in the ground training segmento

O This SyIlabus utilizes Private Pilot Maneuvers MultimediaTraining for student training.

This syllabus utilizes the building-block theory of learning. whichrecognizes that each item taught must be presented on the basis of pre-viously learned knowledge and skills. It is designed so the academicsupport material s can be coordinated with the flight lessons. Whenthe coordinated sequence is used. the material pertinent to a flight les-son is taught just before the flight.

U SE NTThe Private Pilot Course contains separate ground and flight seg-ments. Therefore. the course may be conducted as a combinedground and flight training programo or it may be divided into sepa-rate components. Regardless of the method used. the courseincludes the latest FAA pilot certification requirements and a max-imum of student-oriented instruction. The syIlabus and supportmaterials not only provide necessary information. but also guidethe student through the course in a logical manner.

GRCUND TRAININGIn accordance with FAR Part 141. ground school training is an integralpart of pilot certification courses. The ground training syllabus hasbeen designed to meet this requirement and may be conducted concur-rently with flight training or used as a separate ground training course.

If the ground school is coordinated with flight training. each groundlesson is conducted at the point indicated in the Lesson TimeAllocation tables beginning on page XVI. This coordinated sequenceis the most effective method for course utilization. because the acade-mic knowledge is ob!ained immediately prior to its application dur-ing flight training.

As indicated in the Lesson Time Allocation tables. ground training Stages1and TI are completed during Stage 1of the flight training portion of thesyllabus. Ground Stagem. and the end-of-course knowledge tests (FinalExams "A" and "B") are completed during Stage 11of flight training. Thispermits the student to complete the academic segments of the syllabusearly. before the final stage of flight training. and it encourages the stu-dent to take the FAA Airmen Knowledge Test at an opportune time.•••••••••••••••••••• ~~-----------~

•.......~ : .When the course is presented in a elassroom environment, lessons should be fol-lowed in numerical order as listed in the ground training segment of the syllabus.However, to provide a degree of flexibility for adapting to individual student needsand the training situation, the syl1abus lessons may be altered with approval of the'chief flight instructor. Any deviation should not disturb the course continuity orobjective. Each lesson may be presented in one elassroom session, or it may bedivided into two or more sessions, as necessary.

USING THE GROUND LESSONSGround lessons are based on the Jeppesen Guided Flight Discovery (GFD) PilotTraining System. Although each component of the GFD Pilot Training System maybe used separately, the effectiveness ofthe materials is maximized by using al1oftheindividual elements together in an organized systems approach as described in thissyl1abus. The syllabus contains cross-references which direct the user to the appro-priate GFD study materials for each lesson.The ground lessons generally are divided into three sections - Lesson Introduction,Video Presentation, and Class Discussion. During the introduction, the instructorshould outline the subject material to be covered during the training session, theobjective for learning that information, and the performance standards necessary forsuccessfullesson completion. Each ground lesson also ineludes Study Assignmentsfor the next lesson. The main components of the Private Pilot GFD Program aredescribed below.

TEXTBOOKPrior to each ground lesson, the student should read and study the assigned Priva tePilot Manual sections or chapter. This is the primary source for initial study andreview. The text contains concise explanations of the fundamental concepts andideas and is organized in a logical building-block sequence. Subjects ,afien areexpanded. upon through the use of Discovery Insets which are strategical1y placedthroughout the chapters. Periodically, human factors principIes are presented inHuman Element Insets which help explain how the mind and body function duringflight. Throughout the manual, concepts which directly relate to FAA test questionsare highlighted by FAA Question Insets. Key terms are highlighted in red throughoutthe text and a complete list is included at the end of each section. SummaryChecklists and Questions are also ineluded at the end of each section.

FAR/AIMFederal Aviation Regulations (FARs) and the Aeronautical Information Manual(AIM)are contained in a FAR/AIMManual or CD-ROM.FARs covered inelude Parts1,43,61,67,71,73,91,97,119,133,135,141,142, HMR 175, and NTSB 830. FARStudy Lists, along with FAR Exercises (and answers) also are ineluded. The AIMsegment consists of the complete Aeronautical Information Manual with colorgraphics and the entire PilotiControl1er Glossary.

INTRODUC:TION .....~_.,- VII

PRIVATE PILOT SYLLABUS VIII

FLITESCHOOL CD-ROMPrivate pilot lcnowledge areas also are covered in the FliteSchool multimedia software.These computer-based programs are organized into easy-to-study lessons that corre-spond to the chapters and sections in the Prívate Pilot Manual. This provides studentswith an alternative study method to accommodate individual needs and learningstyles. Since FliteSchool is primarily intended for self-study, its use is recommended.but not required.

PRIVATE PILOT MANEUVERSThree components provide for student introduction. study, and review. They are thePrivate Pilot Maneuvers manual. the Private Pilot Maneuvers Multimedia Training.and the Maneuvers Videos.

Private Pilot Maneuvers contains full color graphics and step-by-step proceduraldescriptions to help students visualize and understand each maneuver they will per-form in the airplane. Additional guidance is provided through highlighted textwhich indudes helpful hints. common errors. and FAA practical test standards.

Priva te Pilot Maneuvers Multimedia Training describes each maneuver using artovideo. and animation on five interactive CD-ROMs. An instructor guides studentsthrough the maneuvers step-by-step. providing tips on improving performance andenhancing flying skills. The multimedia training also provides FAA practical teststandards. as well as examines safety and human factors issues which apply to eachmaneuver. The CD-ROMs are suited to individual training. as well as dassroominstruction.

The Maneuvers Videos present each maneuver or procedure from the student's per-spective. The student can easily visualize how a maneuver looks from inside or out-side the airplane. This simplifies the introduction of new maneuvers in the airplane.

~Although maneuvers study assignments are included in the flight training section ofthe syllabus, specific time indicated in the Lesson Time Allocation Table may becredited toward total ground training time. The CD-ROMsare appropriate for out-of-class study and may be assigned accordingly. Formal class lesson times may be var-ied to fit individual student needs as long as the overall training time adds up to therequired number of hours. For example. a given lesson. which may have one hourallocated for multimedia training. video, and discussion, may be reorganized, short-ened, or extended as necessary to accomplish the desired training.

VIDEO PRESENTATIONSVideo presentations provide an overview ofthe major knowledge areas in the PrivatePilot Manual. During the video presentation, the students should be encouraged toask questions and obtain darification of subject material, as necessary. Afier the stu-dents have viewed the material, the instructor conducts a discussion session. The

(5/00)••••••~!•••••••••••••••~

jI ••••• ,.r •. ,e •••• 'e •.••••••• '.purpose of the discussion is to elaborate upon the subject material and answer anyquestions the students may have.

41UESTIONSOne of the final steps during a typical ground lesson is completion of the questionsassigned at the end of each textbook secHon. Any incorrect responses should be dis-cussed. This ensures student understanding of the subject material prior to beginningthe next ground lesson. When the lesson is complete, the instructor assigns the nextchapter and corresponding CD-ROM for out-of-class study.

USING THE PCATDThe syllabus also provides for use of a Personal Computer-Based Aviation TrainingDevice (PCATD) in the private pilot ground training course. A PCATD can assist aninstructor in achieving specific instructional objectives by introducing the proceduralaspects of flight training in a ground training phase. If properly integrated into theground training program, the PCATD will enhance systems knowledge and proce-dural understanding by the applicant befare engaging in flight training in the air-plane. No flight training credit for the PCATD is permitted for a private pilot course.

In addition to skill enhancement, the introduction of maneuvers and procedures byinstrument reference in the PCATD has other advantages for both student and instruc-tor. These include fewer distractions, more versatility in lesson presentation, reposi-tioning, freeze functions, emergency training, and the ability to control theenvironment of the training session and allow the student to concentrate on the areasthe instructor wants to emphasize. By fOllowing the recommended sequence of the syl-labus, the student will gain maximum benefit frOIDthe integration of academic train-ing, introduction of new maneuvers and procedures in the PCATD, and subsequentpractice in the airplane.

As indicated on the Preface page, if the box for PCATD utilization is checked, then thePCATD becomes part of the ground training segments for the approved course, and useof the PCATD is required. If the box for PCATD is left blank, the PCATD is not part ofthe approved course, and its use is not required.

PCATD utilization should be flexible in a private pilot ground training course. Theaccompanying table shows the recommended ground lessons where PCATD trainingcan be highly effective.

Additional information on use of a PCATD is contained in the lnstructor's Supportchapter of the Instructor's Cuide. PCATDlesson plans are included.

STAGE EXAMSThe ground training portion ofthe syllabus includes three lessons specifically devotedto Stage Exams. These are ground lessons 6, lO, and 15. The intent of the Stage Examis to evaluate the student's understanding of the knowledge areas within a stage.Successful completion of each Stage Exam and a review of each incorrect response isrequired before the student progresses to the next stage.

FINAL EXAMSWhen all of the ground lesson assignments are complete, the student should take theprivate end-of-course knowledge exams. According to the syllabus, lessons 16 and17 for these end-of-course exams are completed in Stage n. The Private Pilot FinalExam "A" is administered first in ground lesson 16. Private Pilot Final Exam "B,"which is ground lesson 17, serves as the ground training course final examination.Following the test, the instructor should assign each student appropriate subjectareas for review. After a thorough review, the actual FAA airmen knowledge testshould be completed without delay.

FLIGHT TRAININGThe flight training syllabus also is divided into three stages, each providing an impor-tant segment of pilot training. Each stage builds on previous learning and, therefore,should be completed in sequence. However, to provide a degree of flexibility for adapt-ing to individual student needs and the training environment, the syllabus lessons maybe altered with approval of the chief flight instructor. Any deviation should not disturbthe course continuity or objective. The following discussion presents a description ofthe primary areas of study in each stage.

STAGE IStage 1 of the syllabus is designed to provide a strong foundation prior to the firstsolo flight. In this stage, the basic maneuvers are introduced, practiced, andreviewed. The student develops the knowledge, skill, and habit patterns needed forsolo flight. In addition, the student will practice airport operations, different types oftakeof£s and landings, emergency procedures, and ground reference maneuvers. Thisstage also includes a thorough review of previously learned maneuvers. During thisstage, the student must complete the presolo written exam and briefing prior to thefirst solo flight. Guidance on administering the presolo written exam is provided byAC 61-101, Presolo Written Test, and additional information is included intheInstructor's Cuide chapter containing the Pilot Briefings .••••••••••••• ~ ••••••~.~~

Instructors also should review pertinent sections of FAR Part 61. For example,61.87(d) contains specific maneuvers and procedures for the presolo phase of train-ing. Although the terminology for sorne of these maneuvers and procedures differssomewhat from Part 141 and PTS terminology, it is important to ensure compliancewith all presolo training requirements specified in Part 61.

STAGE 11The advanced maneuvers portion of this stage is designed to introduce short-fieldand soft-field takeoffs and climbs, approaches, landings, radio navigation, andunimproved airport operations, as well as flight by reference to instruments andnight flying. The maneuvers introduced during this stage incorporate the skillsdeveloped during Stage I, and are important to the cross-country operations later inthis stage.

The cross-country portion of this stage provides the necessary information, knowl-edge, and skills so the student may begin cross-country operations. With the knowl-edge acquired during Stage n, the student should be able to safely conduct solocross-country flights. Proficiency in advanced maneuvers and cross-country proce-dures will be evaluated during the stage check in Flight 20.

STAGE 111The flights of Stage III are designed to provide the student with the proficiencyrequired for the prívate pilot practical test. These flights are devoted to gaining expe-rience and confidence in cross-country operations and reviewing all maneuverswithin the syllabus to attain maximum pilot proficiency. The student's proficiencyand knowledge will be checked by the chief flight instructor, assistant chief instruc-tor, or check instructor during the Stage Check in Flight 25, and further review maybe pursued as necessary.

PREFLlGHT ORIENTATIONPrior to each dual and solo flight, the instructor must provide the student with anoverview of the subject matter to be covered during the lesson. The instructorshould select a quiet, private place to brief the student and explain the lesson sub-ject matter. It is important that the instructor define unfamiliar terms, explain themaneuvers and objectives of each lesson, and discuss human factors conceptsrelated to each lesson.

Each Flight Lesson contains Preflight Discussion information which is intended toprovide a basis for the instructor's preflight overview. This overview should be flex-ible; these are only suggested topics. Every item does not need to be covered. The

preflight orientation should be tailored to the specific flight. the local environment,and especially for the benefit of the individual student.

FUGHT SIMULATOR DR FTDIf the flight school incorporates the use of a flight simulator or flight training device(FTD) in the private pilot training programo the syllabus allows for the instruction insimulator or FTD sessions. Training in a simulator that meets the requirements of141.41(a) may be credited for a maximum of 20 percent of the total flight traininghour requirements (20% X 35 hours = 7.0 hours). Training in an FTD that meets therequirements of 141.41(b) may be credited for a maximum of 15 percent of the totalflight training hour requirements (15% X 35 hours = 5.25 hours).

AIRPLANE PRACTICEAirplane practice must be conducted so that the student obtains the maximum ben-efit from each flight. Each flight should begin with a review of previously learnedmaneuvers befare any new maneuvers are introduced.

Prior to each solo flight, the instructor should carefully instruct the student in themaneuvers to be performed during the flight and what is to be accomplished. Thisguidance will ensure that the student receives maxÍmum benefit from the solo flight.

POSTF'LIGHT EVALUATIONThe postflight evaluation is at least as important as the preflight orientation.During each postflight session. the student must be debriefed thoroughly.Noticeable advancement should be apparent and recommendations should bemade for improvement. where appropriate. This action is a valuable instructionaltechnique because it increases retention ando to sorne degree, prepares the studentfor the next lesson.

As a guide. a mínimum of one-half hour per flight is recornmended for preflight andpostflight briefings combined. Note that this reflects the time spent with the well-pre-pared student. If necessary, additional time should be allotted.

STUDENT STAGE CHECKSStage checks measure the student's accomplishments during each stage of training.The conduct of each stage check is the responsibility of the chief flight instructor .. However. the chief instructor may delegate authority for conducting stage checksand end-of-course tests to the assistant chief instructor or the designated checkinstructor. This procedure provides clase supervision of training and may provideanother opinion on the student's progress. The stage check also gives the chiefinstructor an opportunity to check the effectiveness of the instructors .•••••••••••••••••••••••:. •• .M • ••

.l•..••• -.••••••••••••••••.An examination of the building-block theory of learning will show that it isextremely important for progress and proficiency to be satisfactory before the stu-dent enters a new stage of training. Therefore, the next stage should not begin untilthe student successfully completes the stage check. Failure to follow this progres-sion may defeat the purpose of the stage check and degrade the overall effective-ness of the course.

PILOT BRIEFINGSThree Pilot Briefings are also integrated into the flight syllabus. They are:1. Presolo Written Exam and Briefing2. Solo Cross-Country Briefing3. Private Pilot Practical Test Briefing

Pilot Briefing material is located in the Instructor's Cuide. Each briefing consists of aseries of questions which provide comprehensive coverage of the pertinent informa-tion. Answers, when applicable, are included. The student should be provided withthe questions (not the answers) in advance of the actual briefing. In this way, the stu-dent can research the questions and gain optimum benefit from the briefing.

The briefings should be conducted as private tutoring sessions to test each stu-dent's comprehension. Due to their importance, these briefings should be held in acomfortable classroom or office environment, and ample time should be sched-uled. Every question should be discussed thoroughly to ensure the student under-stands the key points. The briefings are to be completed during the preflightorientation for the appropriate flight. Correct placement of the briefings is in di-cated in the flight syllabus.

The Presolo Written Exam and Briefing is unique. As specified in FAR 61.87, a stu-dent must demonstrate satisfactory knowledge of the required subject areas by com-pleting a written exam. This exam is to be administered and graded by the instructorwho endorses the student pilot certificate for solo flight. As indicated in AC 61-101,Presolo Written Test, flight instructors must include questions on applicable por-tions of FAR Parts 61 and 91. In addition, instructors should modify the writtenexam as necessary to make it appropriate for the aircraft to be flown and the local fly-ing environment.

The Priva te PiJot SyIlabus is designed to meet all the requirements of FAR Part 141.Appendix B. and also may be adapted to meet the aeronautical knowledge. profi-ciency. and experience (airplane. single-engine) requirements of FAR Part 61. SeeFAR 61.105. 61.107. and 61.109. The basic difference between the flight timerequirements ofPart 141 and Part 61 is that under Part 61. the student must have atleast 40 hours of flight time that includes at least 20 hours of flight instruction froman authorized instructor and 10 hours of solo flight training (in specified areas ofoperation). The flight time requirements ofPart 141 are nearly the same. except totalflight time is only 35 hours. Adapting this syllabus to Part 61 training requires onlya slight modification of individual flight lesson times.

The ground training requirements under Part 61 specify that an applicant for aknowledge test is required to have a logbook endorsement from an authorizedinstructor who conducted the training or reviewed the person's home study course.The endorsement must indicate satisfactory completion of the ground instruction orhome study course required for the certificate or rating soughi. Ahorne study coursefor the purposes of FARPart 61 is a course of study in those aeronautical knowledgeareas specified in FAR 61.105. and organized by a pilot school. publisher. flight orground instructor. or by the student. The Private Pilot Course easily meets thisrequirement. As a practical consideration. students seeking pilot certification underFAR Part 61 should receive sorne formal ground training. either in the classroom orfrom an authorized flight or ground instructor.

ER R I G

According to FAR 141.77, when a student transfers from one FAA-approved schoolto another approved school. course credits obtained in the previous course of train-ing may be credited for 50 percent of the curriculum requirements by the receivingschool. However. the receiving school must determine the amount of credit to beallowed based upon a proficiency test or knowledge test. or both. conducted by thereceiving school. A student who enrolls in a course of training may receive credit for25 percent of the curriculum requirements for knowledge and experience gained ina non-Part 141 flight school. and the credit must be based upon a proficiency test órknowledge test, or both. conducted by the receiving school. The amount of credit forprevious training allowed, whether received from an FAA-approved school or othersource, is determined by the receiving school. In addition. the previous provider ofthe training must certify the kind and amount of training given, and the result of eachstage check and end-of-course test, if applicable.

INTRODUCTION 7/99 XIX

PITE ILOT5VLL BUS

T OUCTIOThe Guided Flight Discovery (GFD) Training System is designed tocoordinate the academic study assignments and flight trainingrequired by pilots operating in an increasingly complex aviation envi-ronment. New subject matter is introduced during the ground lessonswith multimedia formats, including the following:

1. In-depth textbook assignments and question material -Priva te PiJot Manual, Priva te PiJot Maneuvers

2. Private PiJot Maneuvers Multimedia Training

3. Video presentations

4. Thorough instructor/student discussions

5. Stage and end-of-course exams for evaluation and reinforcement

6. PCATD introductory/skill enhancement lessons

For optimum effectiveness, ground lessons should be completed justprior to the respective flight lessons, as outlined in the syllabus.However, it is also acceptable to present lessons in a formal groundschool befare the student is introduced to the airplane. If a consider-able length of time has elapsed between the ground lesson and theassociated flight, the instructor may wish to conduct a short review ofessential material. Qne rule dictated by sound educational philoso-phy is that the flight lesson should not be conducted until the relatedground lesson has been completed.

In selected flight lessons, the abbreviation "VR" is used to indicatethat students should maintain aircraft control by using visual refer-ence. "IR" indicates that instrument reference should be used. No ref-erence, to either "VR" or "IR," indicates normal private pilotmaneuvers or procedures by visual references .
