Commercial Pilot Airplane Ground Training Syllabus

Excerpts from FAA-S-8081-12A

 

PURPOSE: This Syllabus can be used as a training record, to account for the completion of each of the specific task requirements in preparation for both the written and the practical test.

 

OBJECTIVES: This training Syllabus provides the student pilot with a detailed summary of specific knowledge and skill required by the FAA for initial certification as a Commercial Pilot. By using this training system, the specific task requirements of the FAA-S-8081-12A Practical Test Standards, are guaranteed to be achieved. In addition, this training system insures that all the specific requirements of 14CFR 61.125, and aeronautical experience requirements of 14CFR 61.129 are met. This will ensure a high degree of integrity by providing both an outline for study, and a record of training. Use this Syllabus to take inventory of your knowledge. Review the topics by reading the appropriate reference materials, or by talking with your instructor, until there remains no area which you have doubts about.

 

No matter what kind of training program you are enrolled in (Part 141, or Part 61,) during the preflight ground instruction lessons your flight instructor should: 1- Explain the purpose of each flight maneuver, or pilot operation; 2- Give you an accurate, comprehensive description of the maneuver or operation, including the objectives and completion standards;

3- Use instructional aids, as appropriate; and 4- Describe the correction of common errors you are likely to make while learning or performing the maneuver or operation.

 

COMPLETION STANDARDS: You show by written record, and will demonstrate through oral and by practical tests, that you meet the required aeronautical skill, knowledge, experience, and performance standards to be recommended to a designated pilot examiner for a Commercial Pilot License, with an Airplane Single Engine Land Rating.
