I’m Going to Start My Flight Training
The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) has Pratical Test Standard (PTS) requirements for all students taking flight training. It might seem like alot of material. It’s the challenge and fun of learning, while we, the student, progress in our flight training. We grow as a person, aquiring all this knowledge, learning about weather, navigation, airspace, etc., that we as student pilots really enjoy.
