Can you review this summary of things to know about private pilot training and certification? It's short.?
October 24, 2008
This is just an overview of things I think I should know about pilot training and certification, questions are in brackets [ ]. Mainly I want to know is this is everything I should have for the tests I will be taking, but any other info is appreciated.
Private Pilot Ground Training
Chapter 1 – Section A – Pilot Training
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulates commercial and general aviation. The rules issued by the FAA for aviation are called the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs).
Pilot training can often be done at an airport, at schools called fixed base operators (FBOs). FBOs are governed by FARs 61 (certification) and 141 (Regarding flight training schools). FAA Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs) are employed by FBOs to provide training in the airplane. [How do FARs 61 and 141 apply to the FBOs?]
[What REQUIREMENTS are there regarding ground training before you can get a pilot's license?]
The FBO that you get your flight training at will either operate under FAR Part 61 regulations or FAR Part 141 regulations. The requirements for ground training are different for each. Part 141 training follows a very strict syllabus, where essentially every ground and flight training session is clearly defined in terms of what will be taught, how long it will be taught, etc. FAR Part 61 basically says that you need to have knowledge of certain areas (listed in 61.105 and 61.107), and how you get this knowledge is up to the CFI. If you Google FAR 61.105 and FAR 61.107, you can see the exact areas that you are responsible for.
