administered by a CFI and consists of 1 hr ground and 1 hr flight instruction in which
your current knowledge of regulations is evaluated as well as your proficiency in
performing pilot operations and maneuvers.)
✔✔Privileges as a Private Pilot - ✔✔_you can act as PIC of an aircraft carrying
passengers and share operating expenses, such as cost of fuel
_you may not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire

_LIMITED: refers to military aircrafts that are now allowed to be used only for limited
purposes in civil aviation
_PROVISIONAL: interim measure for newly designed aircraft that have not met all the
requirements for initial certification but still can be operated for certain purposes
_EXPERIMENTAL: refers to a wide range of aircraft such as amateur-homebuilt and
racing planes as well as research and development aircrafts used to test new concepts
_PRIMARY: small aircrafts intended exclusively for pleasure and personal use
✔✔An aircraft with an Experimental certificate - ✔✔may not be operated for
compensation or hire or for any other purpose other than the purpose for which the
certificate was issued
✔✔A Class of Aircraft, with respect to the Certification of Airmen - ✔✔means a
