  1. Private Pilot Review By: Graham Johnson DPE

  2. Where Do the Questions Come From? • They all come from the PTS • Task Items • Certificates and Documents • Airworthiness Requirements • Weather Information • Cross Country Flight Planning • National Airspace System • Performance and Limitations • Systems • Aeromedical Factors

  3. Examination Guide • The purpose of this guide is to help highlight the applicable areas of knowledge for this exam. • It is not a complete list of topics, but covers those that seem to have confusion or are what I deem as important to the exam. • The final guidance for all exams is the appropriate PTS.

  4. Certificates and Documents • Private Pilot Privileges & Limitations • Currency Requirements • Pilot Certificates and Medicals • Airplane Documents

  5. Currency Requirements • 3 Landings within Preceding 90 Days • Full Stop for Night or Tail wheel

  6. Airplane Documents • A.R.R.O.W. • Airworthiness Certificate • Registration Certificate • Radio License (International Operations) • Operating Limitations (POH/AFM, Placards & Markings) • Weight and Balance Data for Specific Aircraft

  7. Airplane Documents Continued • What Actions are Required to Maintain an Airworthiness Certificate • A.V.I.A.T.E. • Annual Inspection • VOR Check • Pitot Static System Inspection • Airworthiness Directives • Transponder Inspection • ELT Inspection

  8. MEL’s • What is an MEL? • Minimum Equipment List • List of Stuff that can be broken and us still be legal to fly • How do we obtain an MEL? • AC 91-67 • What Do we use instead? • 91.213(d)

  9. Weather Information • METAR, TAF, Area Forecast • Surface Analysis Chart • Radar Summary Chart • Winds and Temperature Aloft Chart • Significant Weather Prognostic Charts • Convective Outlook Chart

  10. Text Weather Products • Be able to decode • Know issuance times and valid times for each product

  11. Graphic Weather Products • Why do we want to look at these charts • Valid Times • Issuance Times • Symbols • What is the chart telling me?

  12. Surface Analysis Chart

  13. Radar Summary Chart

  14. Significant Weather Prognostic Charts

  15. Convective Outlook Chart

  16. Cross Country Flight Planning • Why chose the route you chose • Top of Climb Calculations • How to Adjust for Wind • Knowledge on the use of all aircraft performance charts

  17. Alternate Requirements • Fuel Requirements for Day and Night VFR Cross Countries • Considerations for choosing an alternate airport

  18. National Airspace System • Class A, B, C, D, E • Cloud and Weather Requirements • Identify on Chart • Special Use • MOA, MTR, Restricted, Prohibited

  19. Performance and Limitations • Know how to use all performance charts in the POH • What is Density Altitude • Why is it important • What are the environmental factors that affect it • VA (Maneuvering Speed) • Importance • How does it change with weight

  20. SystemsMust do 3 • Flight Controls • Flaps • Engine & Propeller • Landing Gear • Fuel, Oil, Hydraulic • Electrical • Avionics • Pitot Static • Environmental • Deicing and Anti Icing

  21. Systems • Must have the ability to explain overall operation of systems • Understand the individual components of the system and what their role is in the system • Basic understanding of troubleshooting

  22. Aeromedical FactorsMust do 3 • Hypoxia • Hyperventilation • Middle Ear and Sinus Problems • Spatial Disorientation • Motion Sickness • Carbon Monoxide Poisoning • Stress and Fatigue • Dehydration

  23. Aeromedical Factors Continued • Hypoxia • Symptoms • How to Identify • Different Types • Corrective Actions
