The  applicant must also present one   of the following: * A certificate of graduation fr ... * A written statement or logbook endorsement from an FAA-certificated ground or flight instructor,  certifying that the applicant has satisfactorily completed an applic  able ground training or home-study course and is prepared for the knowledge test. https://www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/media/questions_answers.pdf p.8


 * Pilots, ground instructors, and flight instructors should refer to the 14 CFR part 61 https://www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/media/questions_answers.pdf

2019.5.17 Keep doing the practice tests. Record your scores for each batch - maybe 20 per batch. Send me a note with your score 1-2 times per week.

I looked through the section in my book with the chart questions. They seem to be all identification. I haven't found any that require much / any calculation.

Plan a flight from Spruce Creek to Sarasota-Bradenton SRQ. You can use the Flight Flan form attached as a guide. For weather, make it whatever the current weather is when you work on the plan. Just make a note of what you use.

Great that you are continuing to work with Jack.

Nice to hear you on the radio today. Very professional. Sounds like you are getting it together! skills practice * map calculation

2019.5.9 We need to see how you are doing. Use this site to practice and cover at least 100 questions. Keep track of the number correct and the number you missed.

http://exams4pilots.org/faatest.cgi FAA Knowledge (Written) Test Practice Exam Exam: Private Pilot Airplane

You can set the test anyway you like - one test of 100 questions (don't recommend this), 5 x 20 questions or 10 x10 questions.

For now check "skip the questions with missing figures". We can deal with those all together later.

Did you have specific questions about Airplane Performance or Weight and Balance? Sorry we didn't get to them.

2019.5.8 * sim with Jack Mowray * Airplane Performance or Weight and Balance. overview, importance

http://exams4pilots.org/show_exam.cgi

performance, weight and balance

3585 (Refer to figure 30, illustration 1.) What outbound bearing is the aircraft crossing? A) 	030°.	B) 	150°. C) 	180°. 3667 (Refer to figures 33] and 34.) Calculate the weight and balance and determine if the CG and the weight of the airplane are within limits. Front seat occupants 	350 lb Rear seat occupants 	325 lb Baggage 	27 lb Fuel 	35 gal

A) 	CG 84.1, within limits.	B) 	CG 83.4, within limits. C) 	CG 81.7, out of limits forward. 3664 GIVEN:	WEIGHT 	ARM 	MOMENT	(LB) 	(IN) 	(LB-IN) Empty weight 	1,495.0 	101.4 	151,593.0 Pilot and passengers 	380.0 	64.0 	- Fuel (30 gal usable no reserve) 	- 	96.0 	- The CG is located how far aft of datum?

A) 	CG 92.44.	B) 	CG 94.01. C) 	CG 119.8.

2019.4.17 Have you been working through the book in sequence? What topics do you want to work on next? What have you covered in your flight training? What are you working on with George now?

2019.4.16.2 Keep track of the time you spend working on grounds school - time and topics.

I would like to see how you are spending your time and how much time you can reasonably spend working on it.

2019.4.16 Check out the Sporty's Learn to Fly online course with videos. demo https://courses2.sportys.com/training/course/PRIVATE/videos
 * Okay I’ll check it out. Thanks

It is $199. Working through a course like this is more focused and more interesting than just trying to study a book. https://www.sportys.com/pilotshop/learn-to-fly-course-online-private-pilot-test-prep.html

2019.4.15.2 Here is the Flight Planning form. AOPA

If you have some trips that you are thinking about taking, start planning them now. For each trip start filling out what you can. We can work on filling out the rest. It is more interesting if it is for your own trip planning.

Do you have a paper chart for around here?

iPhone and iPad apps Test prep / practice - I'm not sure if this is the updated version of the one I used - looks similar https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prepware-private-pilot/id334278376

You don't need all of these. Several are handy to have. We can discuss these. https://appcrawlr.com/ios-apps/best-apps-private-pilot

2019.4.15.1 Welcome to Ground School.

Jeppesen - You said you had a book. What is it called? What year does it cover? How are you using it? How far did you get on your own? Did you sign up for the online course?
 * The jeppesen I’m using is called guided flight discovery, Private Pilot. Published 2018
 * I have not signed up online. I’ve been reading through the vocabulary and taking the quizzes.

Looking through some of the online ground school courses, they estimate that students will take about 35 hours to cover the material. You will need to spend additional time studying and practicing for the test. When do you want to be ready to take the written test? What is the most hours you can work on ground school per week? We can work out a schedule for you with that in mind.

Looking forward to working with you.
