To understand the private pilot flight training process, I am going to explain to you how the pilot training process works. For the most part, there are three parts to the private pilot training process . Each phase has a purpose and a set of requirements that must be followed. You will need to go through each part of your pilot training in order for you to become a licensed pilot .They are listed and explained below:.
1: The pre solo stage: You will get familiar with the airplane and understand the basic flight maneuvers in this phase of your pilot training . The first Part of your flight training you will cover the fundamentals of flight and then progress through high altitude maneuvers, ground reference maneuvers, slips to landing, normal and crosswind takeoffs and landings and finally emergency procedures.
You should be given homework questions and a syllabus when you first start this phase of your private pilot license training. You should know what is going to come up in the next flight so you can study it before you get in the airplane.
Before you solo,You will have to take a written test given to you by your flight instructor on the airplane and the airport you are flying out of along with the applicable regulations and requirements in the FAR’s ( Federal Aviation Regulations).
This phase of your private pilot training should take somewhere around fifteen to twenty hours of flying and 4-5 hours of ground instruction if you are on top of your studying. Remember if you are having problems with a certain maneuver, your instructor should move you forward to the next phase of training if you aren’t quite ready to solo. In order to keep track and on your budget, you will want to move forward with your training if you have to overcome any problems.
2: Post Solo Training: This phase of your pilot training will start off with more accurate types of landings known as soft field and short field takeoffs and landings. Starting off with simulated instrument flight then you will finally move to cross country and night flight. There is not a specific aeronautical knowledge requirement for this phase of your training but there is a requirement that the instructor has given you instruction in the areas I listed above.
The soft field, soft field takeoffs and landings and the simulated instrument flight will be required before you can go on any solo cross country flights. This phase of your flight you will have several solo flights to start practicing your pre solo maneuvers.
Your FAA Private Pilot Written test should be finished during this portion of your Private Pilot License Training. You will not want your written test to get in the way of your progress. You can wait until you get to the flight test preparation phase but you should get it done as soon as practical. In order to get the FAA written test out of the way, you should take the test as soon as practical.
3: Flight Test Phase: This is the phase of your private pilot training that you want to get proficient and confident in all of the maneuvers listed in the practical test standards. At this part of your pilot training , you should not be surprised by anything new. You should have been instructed in each item in the practical test standards.
This phase of private pilot license training should be just sharpening your skills. When you start this part of your private pilot training you should have a good idea of all the items listed in the Practical test standards. Now it is time to get everything down pat so you don’t have any problems passing your private pilot flight test.
