Private Pilot Syllabus

First Flight's online lessons are currently designed to prepare you for the flying you will do with a local flight instructor, they are not designed to prepare you for the FAA written test. They should be supplemented with home study and ground instruction as directed by your personal flight instructor.

What it takes to become a Private Pilot.

Preflight: How to inspect the airplane prior to each flight.

Flight 1: Taxi, takeoff , straight and level flight, turns , climbs, descent, landing and postflight procedures.

Flight 2: Communications and an introduction to flight by instrument reference.

Flight 3: Slow flight, stall recognition and recovery, and steep turns.

Flight 4: In production, to include ground reference maneuvers and emergency procedures.

Pilot Shop: A selection of equipment and supplies needed by student pilots.

News Stand: Your source for magazines about flying.

Book Store: Your source for recommended books about learning to fly.

More flights will be added over the coming months.

First Flight online lessons are not a substitute for study of the Pilots Operating Handbook/Airplane Flight Manual for the airplane you intend to fly. It is essential you refer to the Pilots Operating Handbook/Airplane Flight Manual for the airplane you intend to fly for the current procedures and checklists that apply to your airplane.
