FLIGHT TRAINING OUTLINES

II. Flight Training Curriculum Segment

Objective: Flight training refers to the conduct of training events in an aircraft, flight 

simulator, flight training device, or advanced aviation training device. The primary

objective of flight training is to provide flight crewmembers with the skills and 

knowledge necessary to perform to a desired standard. This is accomplished by the 

demonstration, instruction, and practice of maneuvers and procedures (training events) 

pertinent to a particular aircraft and crewmember duty position. The appropriate testing 

and checking of the applicant validate the successful completion of training. Flight 

training credit is accumulated by the trainee crewmembers whenever they occupy their 

respective duty positions during flight training. More detailed lesson plans are available 

for each lesson based on the plan elements of instruction in this curriculum. The lessons 

may be adjusted consistent with the specific simulator utilized for training. The instructor 

will adjust the areas of emphasis during the proficiency phase to take into consideration 

varying levels of individual applicant performance. No applicant will have finished this 

course of instruction, nor will the student be recommended for the evaluation phase 

unless a consistent and satisfactory level of performance is demonstrated on all flight 

maneuvers outlined in the Airline Transport Pilot and/or Type rating Practical Test 

Standards.

With the use of an approved flight simulator, cockpit checklist, and appropriate 

instrument approach and airport charts, the pilot will be able to accomplish the Normal 

and Emergency/Abnormal Checklists, perform selected maneuvers and procedures, and 

implement Single Pilot/Cockpit Resource Management techniques.
