These curriculum contents are intended to parallel the Private Pilot Airplane Single-Engine Land Practical Test Standards (PTS). The training syllabus herein contains a separate ground training course and a flight training course, which will be taught concurrently. OBJECTIVE OF TRAINING: The trainee will obtain the knowledge, skill and aeronautical experience necessary to meet the requirements for a private pilot certificate with an airplane category rating and a single-engine land class rating. COURSE COMPLETION STANDARDS: The trainee must demonstrate through written tests, practical tests and through appropriate records that he/she meets the knowledge, skill and experience requirements necessary to obtain a private pilot certificate with an airplane category rating and a single-engine land class rating. Each individual must satisfactorily complete at least one stage of training within each training period of not more than 90 days. If 90 days are exceeded, a review ground and flight session must be given by the Chief or Assistant Chief Instructor to determine stage progress and course completion expectations. Each stage must be completed in the order listed before advancing to the next stage. Course Completion Standards require that each lesson be satisfactory. In addition, the trainee must meet or exceed the standards listed for each area of operation in the Practical Test Standards. Note: Course ground and flight times in this program are of minimum levels necessary to complete the program. Actual times may be greater in order to meet required standards.

2 Falcon Aviation Academy LLC. FAR 141 TRAINING PROGRAM PILOT TRAINING PROGRAM PAGE B-2 PRIVATE PILOT COURSE INTRODUCTION The Private Pilot Course is designed to train a student with no previous flight experience and upon completion of the course be ready for the Private Pilot Practical Test. COURSE OVERVIEW The course is divided into two segments, Ground Training and Flight Training. The Ground Training consists of 40 hours of structured training. Flight Training consists of 40 hours of structured training in aircraft. Training concepts are as follows: Student homework assignment Instructor ground training Computer based training practice Flight lesson application Review and record completion Student homework assignment Using this concept the student will develop the knowledge necessary to meet standards prior to flight training application. GROUND TRAINING Ground Training is divided into three stage levels PRESOLO EXAM The exam is designed to determine if the student has the necessary knowledge for solo flight. The exam is administered and graded by the instructor who will be endorsing the student for solo flight. A grade of 80% or greater is required. The test is reviewed and deficient areas will be corrected and retested through verbal quizzing. Ground curriculum STAGE EXAMS Stage exams are given at the completion of each module of training to measure trainee knowledge. STAGE I EXAM The exam will test understanding of Jeppesen chapters 1-5 of the Private Pilot Manual. STAGE II EXAM The exam will test understanding of Jeppesen chapters 6-7 of the Private Pilot Manual. STAGE III EXAM The exam will test understanding of Jeppesen chapters 8-12 of the Private Pilot Manual. FINAL EXAM The final exam will measure the understanding of the material presented in the ground program in preparation for the Private Pilot Knowledge test. FLIGHT TRAINING Flight training is divided into three stages and six different training areas of concentration. Ground training contains class with flight lesson. Each flight lesson contains an objective, completion standards, a list of events. Each event must be completely understood prior to flight practice. Therefore, ground instruction is essential prior to a flight lesson. Dual Instruction Briefings Solo Flight Time Night Training Instrument Training Cross-Country Training

The trainee will be evaluated in all maneuvers, procedures and knowledge areas appropriate to the first stage of the Flight Training Syllabus. Stage I and this lesson are complete when the trainee can competently perform preflight duties and all other procedures and maneuvers necessary for the safe conduct of a solo flight in the local training area. Altitude will be maintained ± 150 feet, headings ± 15, and airspeed ± 10 knots.

35 PILOT TRAINING PROGRAM PAGE B-35 STAGE I - FLIGHT LESSON 10 BRIEFING (1.0); DUAL LOCAL (1.0) SOLO LOCAL (.8) During the dual portion of the lesson the instructor will review takeoff and landing procedures to check the trainee s readiness for solo flight. In the second portion of the lesson the trainee will fly the first supervised solo flight in the local traffic pattern. Emphasis will be on the correct procedures and techniques for the trainee s first solo. Demonstrate the ability to solo airplane safely in the traffic pattern and complete solo flight.

36 PILOT TRAINING PROGRAM PAGE B-36 STAGE II STAGE II OBJECTIVES This stage allows the student to expand the skills learned in the previous stage. The student is introduced to short-field and soft-field takeoff and landing procedures, as well as night flying, which are important steps in preparation for crosscountry training. Additionally, greater emphasis is placed on attitude control by instrument reference to increase the student s overall competence. In the cross-country phase, the student will learn to plan and conduct cross-country flights using pilotage, dead reckoning and radio navigation systems and how to safely conduct flights in the National Airspace System. STAGE II COMPLETION STANDARDS This stage is complete when the student can accurately plan and conduct cross-country flights. In addition the student will have the proficiency to safely demonstrate consistent results in performing short-field and soft-field takeoffs and landings and night operations. The proficiency level must be such that the successful and safe outcome of each task is never seriously in doubt.

37 PILOT TRAINING PROGRAM PAGE B-37 STAGE II - FLIGHT LESSON 11 BRIEFING (1.0); DUAL LOCAL (1.0) Learn the basic procedures for short-and-soft-field takeoffs, climbs, approaches, and landings in the training airplane. Review ground reference maneuvers, slow flight and stall recognition. Determine if the trainee is competent to fly the second supervised solo in the traffic pattern. Emphasis on short-and-soft-field takeoffs and landings. Ability to explain runway conditions that requires the use of soft-field and short-field takeoff and landing techniques. Demonstrate the procedures to be used under existing or simulated conditions, although proficiency may not be at private pilot level. Ground track during the ground reference maneuvers will be accurate. Maintain altitude ± 150 feet.

38 PILOT TRAINING PROGRAM PAGE B-38 STAGE II - FLIGHT LESSON 12 BRIEFING (.5); SOLO LOCAL (1.0) Note: A portion of this lesson may be dual. The trainee will fly the second supervised solo in the local traffic pattern. Emphasize airport operations, including takeoff, traffic pattern, approach and landing procedures, as well as collision avoidance and radio communications. Ability to perform each of the takeoffs using correct techniques. Liftoff speed will not vary more than five knots from recommended speed. Landing approaches will be stabilized and the approach speed will not vary more than five knots from recommended speed. Smooth landing touchdowns at the correct speed within 300 feet of the desired touchdown point.

39 PILOT TRAINING PROGRAM PAGE B-39 STAGE II - FLIGHT LESSON 13 BRIEFING (.5); SOLO LOCAL (1.0) Practice the listed maneuvers to gain proficiency and confidence. Practice other maneuvers as directed by the flight instructor. Review ground reference maneuvers to increase skill in maintaining specific ground tracks. Emphasis on traffic pattern entry, exit, approach and landing procedures, including use of a stabilized approach. Solo flight completed. Trainee should attempt to gain proficiency in each of the assigned maneuvers and procedures.

Practice the listed maneuvers to gain proficiency and confidence. Introduce airplane control by instrument reference during emergency situations to broaden the trainee s knowledge. Emphasis will be on the introduction of VOR and ADF orientation, tracking and homing, as well as attitude instrument flying. Perform takeoffs and landings smoothly, while maintaining good directional control. Approaches will be stabilized and the approach speed will not vary more than five knots from recommended speed. Demonstrate basic understanding of VOR/ADF orientation, tracking and homing.
