The new Private Pilot Manual is designed for pilot applicants who are training under

FAR Part 141 in FAA approved schools. The manual and supplementary materials

also meet the requirements of a home study course for pilot applicants who are

seeking certification under FAR Part 61 and are not affiliated with an approved

school.

The Private Pilot Manual is an authoritative textbook reference which is flexible,

comprehensive, and well illustrated for easier study and understanding. Although this

manual will produce good results when studied alone, the best results can be obtained

when it is studied as an integral part of the total learning system within which it was

designed. The textbook is the central component for academic study in the learning

system. The Private Pilot Course contains several other complementary components

for study and review of essential material.

1. Private Pilot Audiovisual Presentations review and reinforce the concepts

presented in the manual. These motivating visual aids pre~nt essential subject

areas in brilliant color and synchronized sound.

2. The Private Pilot Workbook contains comprehensive exercises which cover the

material presented in the audiovisual course and in the manual. The workbook is

designed for individual study and self-checking. The exercises also are necessary

completion standards for the ground training lessons in the Training Syllabus.

3. The Private Pilot Stage Examination Set includes exam booklets containing

questions over specific chapters of the manual. The exams are designed to

evaluate the applicant s progress at various intervals throughout the course.

4. The Private Pilot Final Exam evaluates the applicant s comprehension of subject

areas emphasized in the actual FAA written test. The exam booklet contains two

exams with a common reference section and reflects the subject areas introduced

in the new series of FAA exams. Answer keys and comprehensive critiques also

are available.

5. The Private Pilot Training Syllabus provides a lesson-by-lesson guide for

completion b~ the ground and flight training required under FAR Part 141. The

Training Syllabus is required for all applicants who are enrolled in approved

schools and also is beneficial for applicants seeking certification outside of

annroved schools.

The information presented in the Private Pilot Course provides the necessary

framework for a successful training program. Applicants who complete this course of

study under the guidance of a qualified instructor will be well prepared for the FAA

written examination and flight test.
