Successful completion of this course will provide the student with the
academic skills necessary to act as a commercial pilot in aircraft. The
course is designed to meet the certification requirements set forth in
FAR part 61 and 141 for aeronautical knowledge of commercial pilots.
Phase I - F.A.R.s/A.I.M. - 12
Objective: to introduce the student to the regulations of FAR part 61 and
135 governing the operations, privilages, and limitations of a commercial
pilot. To review airspace designation of part 71, review the general
operating and flight rules of part 91, and to become familiar with
accident reporting requirements of the NTSB. To introduce the student to
the Airman Information Manual's Basic Flight Information and ATC
Procedures as they pertin to visual flight rules and commercial operations
Content: FAR part 1 - Definitions and Abbreviations
FAR part 61 - Certification
FAR part 71 - Airspace
FAR part 91 - General Operating and Flight Rules
FAR part 135 - Air Taxi Operators and Commercial Operation
NTSB 830 - Accident and Incident Notification and Reporting

Outcome: At the completion of this phase the student will be familiar
with the above content and be able to pass the Phase I exam.
Phase II - Aerodynamics; Aircraft Performance, Instruments, Systems, and
Engine Operation.
Objective: To introduce the student to advanced concepts of aircraft
aerodynamics, performance, instruments, high performance and environ-
mental systems, and engine operation for the commercial pilot.
Content - Aircraft Aerodynamic
Aircraft Structure
Aircraft Systems
Aircraft Engine Operations, Instruments
Aircraft Flight Operations, Instruments
Outcomes: At the completion of this phase the student will be familiar
with the above content and be able to pass the Phase II written exam.
Phase III - Aviation Weather
Objective: To review basis weather theory and weather services available
for pilots and to introduce advanced weather theory and weather services
available for the commercial pilot. To develop the student's ability to
choose appropriate weather service products for specific proposed flight
scenarios and to analyze thos data for safe, intelligent flight planning.
Content: Aviation Weather Theory
Aviation Weather Services
Weather Considerations for Flight Planning
Outcome: At the completion of this phase the student will be familiar with
the above content and be able to pass the Phase III written exam.
Phase IV - Flight Planning
Objective: To review basic flight planning skills, including the
operation of E6B type flight computers, navigation using pilotage, dead
reckoning, radio aids, use of flight logs, and weights and balancing
considerations for safe flight. To introduce advanced commercial pilot
level concepts of use of flight computers, navigation, and weight and
balancing considerations.
Content: Operation of Flight Computers
Navigation
Pilotage/sectional charts
Dead reckoning
Radio aids
Flight Logs
Weight and Balancing Considerations
Outcome: At the completion of this phase the student will be familiar
with the above content and be able to pass the Phase IV written exam.
