Description

Course Objective
The objective of this syllabus is for the student to gain the necessary aeronautical skill, knowledge and experience to meet the requirements of a Sport Pilot Certificate with a log book endorsement in fixed-wing aircraft.

Sport Pilot Certification Course
The Sport Pilot Certificate has 2 requirements: Aeronautical Skill and Aeronautical Knowledge. This syllabus is written to satisfy both requirements. The syllabus is presented in four Stages.

Private Pilot Certification Course
The Private Pilot Certificate course includes a transition guide and lesson plans to transition from Sport Pilot (or Sport Pilot in-training) to a Private Pilot.

Sport Pilot CFI Certificate Course
Includes lesson plans for Sport Pilot CFI training.

Lesson Plan and Testing Procedures
Each module contains homework associated with the ground lessons and flight lessons. The instructor goes through the lesson plans and checks off the specific items the student must accomplish before moving on to the next lesson.

The syllabus references the Materials above and when to use the materials throughout the Training course. Instructors using this syllabus must ensure current Practical Test Standards are upheld. The training syllabus contains three question banks from which written exams can be compiled at the end of each stage of training. The exams test the student on both ground and flight training material covered in each stage. This exam must be passed with a minimum score of 70%, and reconciled to 100%, in order to proceed to the next stage.

It is essential the completion standards of each flight lesson be completed before the next flight lesson.
