This course is designed to give you the necessary ground knowledge to pass the FAA Private Pilot Airplane (PAR) Knowledge Test in preparation for the Private Pilot license or certificate.
A Private pilot certificate is like a driver’s license, allowing you to join a select group of individuals who can fly anywhere in the United States. You can carry passengers, and you can even share certain operating expenses with your passengers. Although, there are currency and medical requirements to make sure you stay proficient and healthy, only a few other factors affect when and where you can fly. You might take the family on a trip to see relatives or use an airplane to shorten the time it takes to make business trips to another city. Airplanes are readily available for rental once you obtain a pilot certificate or you may even consider joining a flying club or owning your own airplane.
