This syllabus will serve as a guide to fulfill the requirements of a part 61 private pilot certificate.  \nIn order to qualify for a private pilot license you will need a minimum of 40 hours of flight time which this guide will cater to. This syllabus uses a traditional layout which begins with general instruction and then transitions into solo flying followed by cross country instruction and ends with checkride preparation. It is important to understand that this syllabus serves as a guide for the instructor however the instructor may certainly choose to cover any additional tasks on any given lesson. While this syllabus is set up to complete a private pilot rating in 40 hours it should be noted that certain lessons may need to be repeated or skipped and as a result completion time may vary. This is completely normal and should not be cause for concern.  \nEach lesson will layout several topics that will be gone over either prior to, during or after the flight. You will notice that the in-flight topics will only cover 20 to 30 minutes of each flight. The remainder of the lesson will be used as the instructor chooses, likely this will be practicing maneuvers and landings.  \nAt the end of each lesson there will be an assignment which will either greatly assist in your required knowledge and/or keep you on track for completion. With the majority of these assignments there will be some listed topics that should be your main takeaway from the reading. These key topics should be reviewed with the instructor at the beginning of the next lesson to ensure understanding. The reading assignments will allow the student to begin studying the for their written test at the half-way point and begin studying for the checkride a few weeks after. We have found this to be the ideal roadmap for completing a private pilot license.  \nDuration  \nObjective  \nPre-Flight  \nFlight  \nPost-Flight  \nAssignment  \n1 Hour Flight  \nAs a first lesson this time should be spent gaining familiarization with the flight controls and characteristics of the airplane. A major component of this first lesson should be a thorough walk around with the student ensuring they understand the importance. At the end of the lesson it is crucial to give the student some direction on how to begin their at home studying.  \n  Gather Student Information  \n  Complete Citizenship Endorsement  \n  Overview Normal Lesson  \n  Overview Syllabus  \n  Discuss Eligibility Requirements  \n  Introduce Checklists   Introduce Pre-Flight  \nChecklist Utilization  \n__  \n  Introduce Taxiing  \n  Introduce Traffic Scan  \n  Introduce Positive Exchange of Controls   Introduce Fundamentals  \n  Climbs/Descents  \n  Turns  \n  Level Flight  \n  Review Flight  \n  Introduce Logbook  \n  Reading/Course Recommendations  \n  Schedule Second Lesson  \n  Principles of Flight (PHAK 4-5 to 4-9)  \n  Theories of Lift  \n  Bernoulli’s Principle  \nCompletion Standards: This lesson is complete when the student  \nunderstands control inputs necessary to execute the fundamentals of flight.  \nDuration  \nObjective  \nPre-Flight  \nFlight  \nPost-Flight  \nAssignment  \n1 Hour Flight  \nThis second lesson should be used to refresh those topics learned in the first lesson. The major addition of this lesson is the steep turn maneuver which should be reviewed on the ground prior to the lesson.
