This curriculum is also ideal for the person/certificated pilot who wants a comprehensive update for all the requirements that are required to demonstrate current Private Pilot knowledge requirements. This is also an extraordinary opportunity for a prospective flight student to audit the requirements to become certified as a Private Pilot.
     

The course curriculum will include a comprehensive online training program as well as 10 consecutive Saturday (4 hours each) classroom sessions. During each of the classroom sessions there will be in depth interactive explanations of knowledge and concepts plus progress assessment testing that will establish the student’s progress. If the participant maintains a minimum of 80% test proficiency at the completion of the course a certificate of completion will be issued to the candidate. With the certificate, the participant can take the FAA Private Pilot Written Test. This test is administered by an independent agent and requires separate payment.
