,Preface
The Private Pilot Syllabus meets the requirements of 14 CFR, Part 141 and can be adapted
to meet the requirements of Part 61. This syllabus refers to 14 CFR parts and regulations
as Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs). The syllabus is an outline, or framework, for the
course of training. Tables in Appendix B depict how the objectives and tasks listed in the
ground training and flight training lessons correspond to the aeronautical knowledge and
flight tasks required by Part 141, Part 61, and the FAA Private Pilot — Airplane Airman
Certification Standards (ACS). Instructors should refer to these tables and the pertinent
sections of the regulations when teaching the course to ensure that no aeronautical
knowledge areas, flight proficiency, or experience requirements are omitted during pilot
training and that these requirements are documented in appropriate records and
endorsements.
The syllabus has separate ground and flight training courses that are designed to be
taught concurrently. The Ground Training Syllabus is divided into three stages and
contains a total of 17 ground lessons. The Flight Training Syllabus also is divided into
three stages and contains a total of 26 flight lessons (FLs). A stage check is included at the
end of each stage of flight training, and a stage exam is included at the end of each stage
of ground training. The Presolo Exam is included before the first supervised solo. In
addition, End-of-Course Final Exams and an End-of-Course Flight Check are included in
the syllabus prior to the conclusion of the respective ground and flight segments. The
End-of-Course Flight Check is completed at the end of Stage III. The applicant must
complete, or receive credit for, all of the ground and flight lessons in the Private Pilot
Syllabus.
Computer-assisted training is incorporated into this syllabus as follows:
• The Private Pilot Online training course in the Jeppesen Learning Center
◊ Ground Lessons
◊ Maneuvers Lessons
• An aviation training device (ATD) for specified ground lessons
Several options to customize the syllabus to accommodate the requirements of some flight
schools are described on page iv.
This syllabus offers the option of conducting the Stage I Check prior to the first solo flight.
In addition, operators may choose to conduct the first solo immediately after the Stage I
Check or after further dual instruction in Stage II. If operators want to incorporate either
of these flight lesson sequences or utilize an aviation training device, they should check
the appropriate boxes below when applying for training course outline (TCO) approval
and mark the student copy of the syllabus.
❑ This syllabus has the Stage I Check (FL 10) preceding the first solo (FL 9).
❑ This syllabus has the first solo lesson (FL 9) occurring in Stage II after dual flight
training on short- and soft-field takeoffs and landings (FL11) and navigation (FL14 and
, FL15). This change is implemented with the local solo lessons (FL 12 and FL 13)
occurring after the first solo (FL9).
❑ This syllabus utilizes an ATD in the ground training segment.
