Flight training is a course of
study used when learning to pilot an aircraft. The overall purpose of primary
and intermediate flight training is the acquisition and honing of basic
airmanship skills. Although there are various types of aircraft, many of the
principles of piloting them have common techniques, especially those aircraft
which are heavier than air types. All training courses consist of some
combination of theoretical learning conducted on the ground and practical
exercises conducted in the air. Initial training is often conducted in
specialized training aircraft, which are designed for benign handling
characteristics and lower costs compared to the aircraft which the pilot
concerned is ultimately aiming to fly. Flight training devices, of which full
flight simulators are a major subset, are also used to train pilots in some
circumstances at much lower cost and risk than actual flying. The minimum
amount of flight training required for private pilots is generally set at 40
hours, however most students require 50-80 hours of training. For glider training
the time and expense may be considerably less.
In basic training, the following fundamentals of safe flying are covered for
almost all aircraft
(with a few exceptions for the smallest ultra lights missing some features)
* Principles of Flight
* Flight Regulations
* Meteorology
* Navigation
* Radio Communications
* Flight Instruments
* Human Factors
* Medical Certification
For powered aircraft:
* Airframes, Engines and Systems
The FAA Knowledge Test is administered at designated testing centers and
consists of a computer-
generated 60 question multiple choice exam. Practical Tests are conducted by an
FAA or FAA-
designated examiner. Upon satisfactory completion of the practical test, a
private pilot
certificate is immediately issued.
Pilot Training Institutes train an individual on the various skills required to
fly an aircraft.
It teaches a pilot the process of flying an aircraft through the air with proper
direction and
control. It also teaches the students to understand the weather forecasts. A
qualified pilot is
supposed to be an expert in leading his crew and the passengers even in trying
circumstances and
a leader par excellence. Besides academic qualifications, a commercial pilot
should have a sound
mind in a healthy body, lot of courage, determination and self-confidence. There
are quite a good
number of flying schools in India that are recognized by the Directorate General
of Civil Aviation
and provide excellent training to individuals aspiring to become pilots.
