Private Pilot Practical Test Standards for Airplane Single / Multiengine Land and Single / Multiengine Sea Plus Aviation Weather Services Advisory Circular, AC 00-45G, Change 1 (July, 2010)

TWO Aviation Handbooks combine into one book! Private Pilot Practical Test Standards for Airplane Single / Multiengine Land and Single / Multiengine Sea: The Flight Standards Service of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has developed this practical test book as the standard that shall be used by FAA inspectors and designated pilot examiners when conducting private pilot—airplane practical tests. Flight instructors are expected to use this book when preparing applicants for practical tests. Applicants should be familiar with this book and refer to these standards during their training. Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 61 specifies the AREAS OF OPERATION in which knowledge and skill must be demonstrated by the applicant before the issuance of a private pilot certificate or rating. The CFRs provide the flexibility to permit the FAA to publish practical test standards containing the AREAS OF OPERATION and specific TASKs in which pilot competency shall be demonstrated. PLUS: Aviation Weather Services, Advisory Circular 00-45G, Change 1, is published jointly by the National Weather Service (NWS) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). AC 00-45G, Change 1, explains U.S. aviation weather products and services. It details the interpretation and application of advisories, coded weather reports, forecasts, observed and prognostic weather charts, and radar and satellite imagery.
