Therefore, you must submit a medical certificate application online and undergo an exam performed by an Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) . This link covers what is tested. A Medical is NOT required to start training; it is, however, required to solo.  \n- If you’re interested in obtaining just a Private Pilot certificate you only need a Third Class Medical.  \n- If you’re interested in a career as a professional pilot, you may want a First Class Medical. You should start the medical application process as soon as practical:  \n- Complete the FAA Medical Application on [https://medxpress.faa.gov/](https://medxpress.faa.gov/)  \n- Make an appointment for a Medical examination with a Medical Examiner. Look on the FAA website to find one near you. Select “AME” and “Location Search.”  \nGround School  \nThe foundational knowledge you need to fly safely, as defined by the FAA, is referred to as Aeronautical Knowledge. These topics are covered through an online training course, ground lessons with your instructor, independent study. You must show proficiency in your aeronautical knowledge by passing an FAA Written Test (70% or better) and later you will be tested by an examiner during your Practical Test. Your instructor will provide information on what ground school to use.  \nFlight Training Summary  \nTraining is split into three phases: Pre-Solo, Cross-Country, and Checkride Preparation. Upon completion of all phases to proficiency, you will be prepared for the Private Pilot FAA Practical Test. A full course outline and lesson syllabus will be provided to you by your instructor and should be followed through training. Lesson activities will be adjusted to account for weather or other factors.  \nBefore completing each phase you will fly with another instructor during a phase check. Further check-in flights will be conducted at certain time-intervals (usually every 20-30 hours of training) if progress through a phase has stalled. The goal of these flights is to provide feedback to both students and instructors and to help re-establish training momentum.  \nSupply List  \n● Logbook like the ASA Logbook (or similar) .  \n●  Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge and Airplane Flying Handbook  \n●  Federal Aviation Regulations and Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) ( Updated FAR/AIM)  \n●  Private Pilot Airman Certification Standards (ACS-Practical Test Standards)  \n● Aircraft Information Manual for your training aircraft. (Available under each aircraft’s page)  \n● Detroit Sectional Chart, TAC Chart, and Chart Supplement  \n●  Flight Planning Plotter and Flight Computer  \nTraining Expectations  \nInstructor Responsibilities  \nYour flight instructor assumes a great deal of responsibility for your training. Their training will shape your aviation future and will hopefully inspire you for a lifetime of accomplishments.  \n1) Help the student learn-your flight instructor is here to guide you through the training topics and keep a high level of motivation to continue training.  \n2) Minimize student frustration-your instructor will keep you informed on progress and provide you with guidance when faced with challenges.  \n3) Uphold performance standards-your instructor will not comprom","cbCaiqriNpd5SDyl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqriNpd5SDyl","pdf",144417,"English","# Training Overview\n## Private Pilot requirements\n## Obtaining a Medical Certificate\n## Ground School\n## Flight Training Summary\n## Supply List\n## Training Expectations\n### Instructor Responsibilities\n### Student Responsibilities","[{\"question\":\"What is the goal of the Part 61 Private Pilot training program?\",\"answer\":\"The program’s goal is to develop a safe, FAA-certified private pilot for the Airplane Single Engine Land category and class ratings, with training pacing aligned to the student’s time and cost budgets and a commitment to lifelong learning.\"},{\"question\":\"Is a medical exam required to start training, and when is it required to solo?\",\"answer\":\"A medical is not required to start training, but it is required to solo.
