Private Pilot Airman Certification Standards - Airplane
Author: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Publisher: Ravenio Books
ISBN:
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published the Private Pilot - Airplane Airman Certification Standards (ACS) document to communicate the aeronautical knowledge, risk management, and flight proficiency standards for the private pilot certification in the airplane category, single-engine land and sea; and multiengine land and sea classes. This ACS incorporates and supersedes the previous Private Pilot Practical Test Standards for Airplane, FAA-S-8081-14. The FAA views the ACS as the foundation of its transition to a more integrated and systematic approach to airman certification. The ACS is part of the safety management system (SMS) framework that the FAA uses to mitigate risks associated with airman certification training and testing. Specifically, the ACS, associated guidance, and test question components of the airman certification system are constructed around the four functional components of an SMS: Safety Policy that defines and describes aeronautical knowledge, flight proficiency, and risk management as integrated components of the airman certification system; Safety Risk Management processes through which internal and external stakeholders identify and evaluate regulatory changes, safety recommendations and other factors that require modification of airman testing and training materials; Safety Assurance processes to ensure the prompt and appropriate incorporation of changes arising from new regulations and safety recommendations; and Safety Promotion in the form of ongoing engagement with both external stakeholders (e.g., the aviation training industry) and FAA policy divisions. The FAA has developed this ACS and its associated guidance in collaboration with a diverse group of aviation training experts. The goal is to drive a systematic approach to all components of the airman certification system, including knowledge test question development and conduct of the practical test. The FAA acknowledges and appreciates the many hours that these aviation experts have contributed toward this goal. This level of collaboration, a hallmark of a robust safety culture, strengthens and enhances aviation safety at every level of the airman certification system.

Private Pilot Checkride
Author: Virgil Royer
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Airplanes
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"This is not the typical "question-answer-question-answer" text-only format. This book is often referred to as the ‘Cliffs Notes’ for the private pilot checkride. This is the prep and study guide that will help you ace your checkride! Most material is presented in easy-to-flashcard and memorize charts, diagrams and mnemonics. The book begins by outlining the steps to take prior to your checkride under the latest ACS including hours, training, required logbook endorsements, and then explains the rest of the exam procedure which concludes with the debriefing. The study guide then goes into greater detail for each anticipated area of the checkride including: 1. checklists to memorize (and those not to memorize); 2. airspace and VFR minimums; 3. weather (reports, clouds, winds aloft, pressure systems, thunderstorms, the GFA weather chart website, types of fog, etc.), 4. navigation, including: types of navigation, lost procedures, VOR navigation, useful websites, NOTAMs, step-by-step instructions for completing a full navigation log, etc.); 5. safety & wellness (common in-flight sicknesses, rules for scuba divers, in-depth explanation of sensory illusions, etc.); 6. airport signs (including marshaling signals and a complete color runway diagram, etc.); 7. documents & inspections (learn an easier way to remember “TOMATOFLAMES”); 8. performance (including an explanation of leaning, and detonation vs. pre-ignition); 9. communications (towered airports, airspace transitions, calling FSS from an RCO, Class C procedure, activating flight plans, requesting flight following, etc.); 10. passenger briefing (including a sample briefing for your knee board); 11. maneuvers, takeoffs & landings (including a one-page maneuver reference card, plus a one-page list of all ACS maneuvers, takeoffs, landings, etc. which should be used during your final 3 hours of exam training with your CFI); 12. special emphasis areas (although they are now incorporated into the ACS, you should still be familiar with these areas because they are inherently tested throughout the exam) There is also a quick-reference flow chart for the risk management expectations; 13. the “other things to study” chapter is chock-full of the miscellaneous areas that you will be expected to know such as airspeeds, altitudes, stall/spin awareness & recovery, carb icing, slips, lapse rates, V-speeds, unusual attitude recovery, SVFR, pitotstatic system, left-turn tendencies, a detailed engine diagram with fourteen questions you should be able to answer, and much more; 14. select FAR/AIM summaries (the select rules you should be most familiar with); 15. three full-color sectional chart quizzes (with answer keys); 16. a chapter on “going the extra mile” and finally a detailed list of what should (probably) be in your flight bag. You will notice that this book is not hundreds of pages, nor is it priced as high as other books on this topic. The length is purposefully limited because you cannot effectively study and memorize hundreds of pages prior to your practical test. In addition, the size is such that you can easily take it with you wherever you go and study when time permits." -- Amazon.com.

Book Description
Does That Mean I Fail?: A Humorous Look at Pilot Checkrides by Brooks Black As collection of humorous first-hand accounts of pilot check-rides, Does That Mean I Fail? is geared towards both pilots and non-pilots. After years of Designated Pilot Examiners (DPEs) thinking and saying, "Nobody would believe this," and, "Somebody should write a book," Brooks Black finally has. Does That Mean I Fail? is the result of nearly 100 check-rides and the author's own personal experiences. Combined, they allow for new and unique insight into the exciting world behind flight. Brook Black's writing reads with a good dose of humor and information. It is at once highly detailed and exciting. Does That Mean I Fail? is sure to both entertain and enlighten. About the Author Born and raised in Toledo, Ohio in 1943, Brooks Black went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Toledo. He began flying in 1967 and is a pilot, flight and ground instructor, aircraft mechanic and Designated Pilot Examiner. He also received certification as an Aircraft Accident Investigator from the University of Southern California. The stories from Does That Mean I Fail? result from his DPE career. He is also a USCG captain, certified to operate up to a 100-ton vessel and has roughly 17,000 flight hours. He is married with one daughter. He and his wife, Lena, enjoy cruise ship travel, and they own a SeaRay 34 Express. Brooks Black also enjoys model railroads and once served as president of the Palm Beach Model Railroad Club. His family also includes the love of four Maltese, two of which were bred and raised in their home.
