Through extensive use of colorful [Braphics, slte-ofthe-art compoter-based training, and broadeast quality video, Guided Flight Discovery ensures that your training willbe enjoyable and exciting. Guided Flight Discovery is totally different than other systems because its entice philosophy of pilot twaining is a departure from the conventional methods of the past. Rather than just teaching facts, Guided Flight Discovery concentrates on an application-oriented approach to pilot training. The comprehensive and complete system emphasizes the ‘why and how of aeronautical concepts when they are presented. As you progress {hrough your training, you will find that the revolutionary Guided Flight Discovery system leads you through essential aeronautical knowledge and exposes you toa variety of interesting and useful information which will enhance and expand your understand- ing of the world of aviation, Although each element of the Guided Flight Discovery Pilot Training System may be used separately, the effectiveness of the materials ean be maximized by using all of the individual components in a systems approach. To help you efficienly organize your studies and get the most out of your training, Guided Flight Discovery incorporates cross-references which are used to direct you to related Guided Flight Discovery study materials. The main components of the Private Pilot Program are described below. Core Study Materials Private Pilot Textbook ‘The Private Pilot Textbook is your primary source for inital study and review. The text contains complete and concise explanations ofthe fundamental concepts and ideas that ‘every private pilot needs to know. The subjects are organized in a logical manner to build upon previously introduced topics. Subjects are often expanded upon through the use of Discovery Insets which are strategically placed throughout the chapters. Periodically, human factors principles are presented in Human Element Insets to help you understand how your mind and body function while you fly. Throughout the textbook, concepts Which directly relate to FAA test questions are highlighted by FAA Question Insets, Additionally, you can evaluate your understanding of material introduced in a particu- lar section by completing the associated review questions.

After finally lifting of with only 800 fect of runway remaining, co-pilot Jeana Yeager radioed back, “If it were easy, it would have been done before. [Breaking new ground is never easy.

In our quest fr Might, we have suffered many defeats but our successes outweigh our failures, fr today, what once scemed impossible is commonplace. 4.7 1 CHAPTER 1 THE TRAINING PROCESS In the carly days of aviation, there were no cenificates and no government regulations to coatrol pilot taining or aircraft construction. Little guidance was provided for individuals who desired to fly aigplanes and, for most would-be aviators, Iesening to My was accomplished by tial and error, AS a result, fight taining was a risky business which required a tremendous amount of courage and commitment. Although you may’ never encounter the same obstacles and hazards faced by the early aviators, becoming a pilot stil presents 8 challenge which requires hard work and dedication. However, the time and energy which you invest in flying will yield countless rewards. ‘These rewards are unique to each pilot since individuals learn to fly for dif. ferent reasons. Some relish the challenge of achieving an extraordinary goal, some yearn to travel and experience the world from a new perspective, some are looking for an exciting career, and sill others simply desire the satisfac tion and sense of accomplishment which come from mastering a skill. You ‘may be thinking about learning to fly for one or more of these reasons, or you may have an entirely different motivation, Whatever the reason, if you yeara to spread your wings and expand your horizons, tis is your chance, How Do | GET STARTED? ‘The first step isto have your questions answered. The more information you hhave about the training process, the easier it will be for you to make effective decisions about pilot taining, and the more positive your fying experience willbe WHAT IS THE FAA? Pilot training today is regulated by an agency called the Federal Aviation ‘Administration (FAA) which governs commercial and general aviation. The Federal Avition Regulations (FARS), which ac issued by the FAA, provide rules which apply to all reas of aviation, including Might operation, the con fimuction of aieraf, andthe taining requirements which must be met to ‘btn pilot erieaies and ratings. The FARS ere ideniied by a specifi ile tumber (Aeronautics and Space Tile 14) within the larger group of rals con. tained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). ‘The FARs are divided into numbered parts (PAR Part 61, FAR Part 91, etc) and regulations are typically identified by the part number, followed by the specific regulation number, for example: FAR 91.106. During your training, you will become familiar with the regulations which apply to you. {As outlined in the FARs, you must mect specific training requirements to ‘oblain a private pilot cenficate. During your course of training you will take a knowledge test and at the completion of your pilot training. you are required to take a practical test to obtain your pilot certificate. Although cer tain requirements must be met to prepare you for these exams, pilot training is generally very flexible, and to a large degree you have the ability to choose {your instructor, the type of taining, and the lesson schedule which will best suit your needs, DISCOVERING AVIATION PILOT TRAINING SECTION A WHERE CAN | OBTAIN PILOT TRAINING? ‘You usually don't have to travel any further than your local airport to Ieunch your aviation journey. Many pilot training schools are located at airport faci ities called fixed base operators (FBOs). In addition to pilot taining, FBOs provide a variety of services to pilots. including airraft rental, fueling, mais tenance, parking, and the sale of pilot supplies. There are two types of pilot training schools; FAA-approved schools governed by FAR Part L8l and schools governed by FAR Part 61, Both schools employ FAA certificated fight instructors (CFs) who can provide dual instruction in the airplane. A Part 141 approved school must meet prescribed standards for equipment, facilites, personnel, and cusricula You can make a more-informed decision about a pilot taining school by cor ducting some research. For example: Does the schoo!'s instructional program {and lesson schedule ft your needs? How long has the school been opersting? ‘What is the schoo!’s reputation and safety record? How many, and what type of aircraft are available for flight taining? How are sircraft maintenance issues resolved? Most schools offer an introduetory flight lesson during which you will be able to operate the controls of the airplane. This flight provides an opportunity for you to become familiar with the flight training process, evaluate the fight fehool, and get acquainted with a flight instructor. Probably the most impor- tant decision you will make regarding your pilot training isthe selection of 2 flight instructor. You may want to speak with several CFIs.and ask other pilots for instructor recommendations. Ifyou are uncomfortable or have trou- ble communicating with a CFI, don't be afaid to select a different instructor. Students lear differently and another CFT may have a teaching style Which ‘you find more effective Ifyou plan to pursue aviation as a career, you may want to consider a large Aight school, college, or university which provides highly structured profes- sional pilot training. Pilot instruction also can be obtained from a freelance CCFL who is not employed by a school or FBO. WHAT ABOUT GROUND INSTRUCTION? Ground instruction is an essential part of pilot taining. To operate am atcraft safely asa private pilot, you must be knowledgeable in a wide variety of sub- ject areas, such as weather, aerodynamics, aircraft systems, Might planning, and regulations. You ean obtain the required ground instruction individually from your flight instructor or through formal ground school classes offered by 4 school or FBO. In addition, there are home-study courses and self-
