Stage 1
During this stage, the student
obtains the foundation for all future aviation training. The
student becomes familiar with the training airplane and learns
how the airplane's controls are used to establish and maintain
specific flight attitudes and ground tracks. Basic maneuvers
are introduced, practiced, and reviewed. The student develops
the knowledge, skill and habit patterns needed for safe solo
flight. The student will practice airport operations, takeoffs
and landings, emergency procedures and ground reference maneuvers,
all with an instructor present.
Stage 2
This stage allows the student
to expand the skills learned in the previous stage. The advanced
maneuver portion of this stage is designed to introduce different
types of takeoffs and landings, radio navigation and unimproved
airport operations as well as flight by reference to instruments
and night flying. The student will also continue to practice
solo flight maneuvers throughout this stage.
The cross-country portion of this stage provides the knowledge
and skills so the student may begin cross-country operations.
The student will learn to plan and conduct cross-country flight
using pilotage, dead reckoning and radio navigation systems,
and how to safely conduct flight in the National Airspace System.
Stage 3
Stage III is designed to
provide the student with the proficiency required for the practical
test. Flights are devoted to gaining experience and confidence
in cross-country operations and reviewing all maneuvers to attain
maximum pilot proficiency. The student's proficiency and knowledge
will be checked by a check instructor and further review may
be pursued as necessary prior to the actual FAA practical test
for Private Pilot Certification.
