This class will satisfy the FAA ground training element required to become a Private Pilot. We will be using the Jeppesen-Sanderson Private Pilot Manual as a general guide for the course. Questions are always encouraged, take notes, and enjoy the class. Books, learning materials and pilot supplies are available for purchase on request. WHAT IS A PRIVATE PILOT? A Private Pilot is an airman who holds a FAA issued pilot certificate which is recognized worldwide. This first pilot certificate will allow you to be the pilot in command of a propeller driven single engine aircraft weighing less than 12,500 pounds with passengers during good weather daytime and nighttime conditions. A private pilot may operate a U.S. registered aircraft anywhere in the world and has the ability to upgrade their airman privileges at any time. The private pilot certificate is the first and most fundamental step in any pilot’s career. You may elect to obtain addition training to acquire any of the following certifications: complex aircraft (retractable landing gear), high performance aircraft, high altitude aircraft, tailwheel aircraft, seaplanes, helicopters, gliders, large aircraft, jet aircraft, commercial pilot, certified flight instructor, and many more. We rent our airplanes to all of our pilots for their personal and business use. THE NEXT STEP So, where do you go from here? We recommend our students complete a minimum of four weeks in this ground school prior to beginning flight lessons. In the meantime, however, we encourage a Discovery Flight to give you an idea of what being a pilot is all about. It’s an affordable way to gauge your interest, and a great way for us to get you hooked on aviation. When you’re ready to start flying, we’ll sit down to evaluate your goals, learning style, and schedule your first lesson. BECOMING A PILOT As you begin your flight training you will continuously build experience and skill as you work through the FAA’s training regimen. Along the way there are three exams which must be passed, but they are not until late in your training. The first is a pre-solo open book written exam designed by your flight instructor. The second is an FAA knowledge test, much of which this class prepares you for. The culmination of your training is the practical test. A one on one oral and flight exam with an FAA designated examiner observing your operations as the pilot in command of an aircraft. While completion results vary with each student, our average customer completes this entire process in approximately 55 hours of flight time, 3-6 months, and $6,000. THE INFLIGHT DIFFERENCE Inflight Pilot Training’s Mission is to introduce the wonder of flying a light airplane to a larger audience through an affordable business model. We understand that you have choices in flight training and are confident you will find the best service, best prices, and best flight instruction right here at Inflight. We are able to reduce our internal expenses by operating economically efficient aircraft and limiting overhead without sacrificing safety or service. As a flight training company, our only focus is your aviation education. Because we specialize in training, we do not subject our customers to many of the distractions that exist in other aviation businesses like charter flights, fuel sales, and aircraft storage. We stand behind our students and our reputation; we will make you a safer, more competent, and more highly skilled pilot than any of our competition. Inflight is also the only flight school in the U.S. to offer free continuing education for its students and pilots. EXPERIENCED INSTRUCTORS PRODUCE SAFE PILOTS Our team of flight instructors is, hands down, the most experienced group of CFI’s in Minnesota. Inflight is owned by a gold seal CFI and all of the instructors hold countless certifications, our professional pilots offer the most realistic level of training to prepare you for the real world of flying. CONTINUING EDUCATION Inflight is the only flight school in the U.S. to offer FAA accredited WINGS safety seminars and recurring ground schools for operational proficiency. These regular meetings allow our students and pilots to meet aviation professionals and other pilots who share their interest in flying safely. They’re also a great way to stay engaged as an airman and continue to enhance your skill and proficiency without any financial investment. 3 PILOT SUPPLY LIST ITEM PRICE Jeppesen Private Pilot Manual 89.95 Airplane Flying Handbook * 19.95 Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge * 29.95 FAR/AIM Book * 18.95 Gleim Written Test Prep Book 19.95 Practical Test Standards Book * 6.95 Oral Exam Guide Book 14.95 Visualized Flight Maneuvers Guide 19.95 Pilot’s Operating Handbook 19.95/29.95 Pilot Logbook * 13.95 Chart Plotter 12.95 E-6B Manual Flight Computer 14.95 Flight Planning Logs 7.95 Kneeboard 42.95 Flight Bag 29.95 Headset 149.95 Sectional Navigational Chart 9.95 Terminal Area Chart 5.95 Airport/ Facilities Directory 5.95 Full Private Pilot Kit Discount Price $400 (A $530 VALUE) Full Kit Without the Headset $275 Full Kit Without the Headset & Bag $245 These items are all available here at Inflight for purchase.

  • Easy Access Rules for Balloons
    Easy Access Rules for Balloons EASA eRules: aviation rules for the 21st century Rules and regulations are the core of the European Union civil aviation system. The aim of the EASA eRules project is to make them accessible in an efficient and reliable way to stakeholders. EASA eRules will be a comprehensive, single system for the drafting, sharing and storing of rules. It will be the single source for all aviation safety rules applicable to European airspace users. It will offer easy (online) access to all rules and regulations as well as new and innovative applications such as rulemaking process automation, stakeholder consultation, cross-referencing, and comparison with ICAO and third countries’ standards. To achieve these ambitious objectives, the EASA eRules project is structured in ten modules to cover all aviation rules and innovative functionalities. The EASA eRules system is developed and implemented in close cooperation with Member States and aviation industry to ensure that all its capabilities are relevant and effective.
