SUCCESS OF A FLIGHT TRAINING AND LEARNING
Dear (Student) Pilot,
Your success is only dependent of some items : reading a lot, the personal willing to study,
a good preparation BEFORE the flight, in order to memorise all necessary information. In
addition it will cost less to the student pilot as less training will be necessary to achieve the
same level of proficiency.
So I encourage any student pilot to read this manuel two to three lessons in advance in
accordance with the training manual (PPL or CPL) in order to be well prepared. Do not
hesitate to ask questions to your asigned instructor or any other one !
And review this manual from time to time, the human memory is not like the one of a
computer, it evaporates …
Of course this flight training methodology goes along with a deep understanding of the
theory: Meteorology, Technical and Aerodynamics, Navigation, Human Factors, Air Law,
Phraseology without forgetting the TEM (Threat and Error Management).
The knowledge of the airplane via the Aircraft book (Pilot Operating Handbook or Aircraft
Flight Manual) on which you will fly is also important.
So reread any items that go along with the flight training (see the PPL or CPL Training
Manual for the theoretical paragraphs to review).
Enjoy this reading and your training,
