Today I am going to explain the post solo instruction needed for you to obtain your private pilot certificate.
After you solo there are a few things you must do to finish the cross country phase of your flight training. I have listed them below:
Soft Field Takeoffs and Landings
Short Field Takeoffs and landings
Simulated instrument training
Cross Country Instruction
VOR Navigation.
Night Flying / Night Cross Country
1: Soft Field Takeoffs and Landings: This is a different type of landing that is used on grass runways. You probably won’t fly to a grass runway but you will have to be able to perform these takeoffs and landings.
2: Short Field Takeoffs and landings. This type of takeoff and landing is used on short runways. We also practice them with an obstacle at the end of the runway.
Both of these types of takeoff and landing will help you improve your landings dramatically. If students are having problems waiting for the landing light bulb to come on, I will move forward with students and practice these types of takeoff and landing.
3: Simulated instrument training: This is when you will fly just with the reference to the instruments in the cockpit. You will have to have logged simulated instrument time before you
4:Cross Country Instruction: This is where you will go to another airport more than 50 nautical miles from your home airport.
5:VOR Navigation: This is a type of basic instrument navigation. There is a device in the airplane that will basically tell you where you are from a given radio beacon. The requirement for using this instrument is to help you on your solo cross countries in case you get lost.
6:Night Flying / Night Cross Country: If you want night flying privileges, you will have to do 3 hours of night flying including one cross country. Some instructors may do some of the night flying before solo. I personally do this after everything else.
Solo Cross Country: You will have to do at least 1 long cross country. All of the requirements for the solo time are listed in your Free Report.
I have also detailed all of your post solo instruction including handouts from my personal training syllabus. I also have checklists to make sure your instructor has covered everything with you.
