• AVI 114: Private Pilot Practical Exam Prep

  1.00 Credits

  Pennsylvania Highlands Community College

  
  This course provides a comprehensive overview of knowledge required and thorough preparation for the FAA Private Pilot Practical Examination. It is designed for student pilots who are enrolled in a 14 CFR Part 141 flight school and are training for the private pilot certificate. This course will also prove beneficial to students training under 14 CFR Part 61 and private pilots who wish to refresh their knowledge or who are preparing for a flight review. The course is organized to address the seven areas of knowledge required for the practical test, including: certificates and documents; weather; determining performance and limitations; airplane systems; cross-country flight planning; night operations; and aeromedical factors. Prerequisite(s): AV/ 110 Private Pilot Theory; AV/ 112 Private Pilot Lab I; AV/ 113 Private Pilot Lab II Co-requisite(s): May be taken as a co-requisite with AV/ 113 Private Pilot Lab II 1 credit (1 lecture; 0 lab) Prerequisite:    AVI110 AND AVI112

• AVI 120: Instrument Theory

  3.00 Credits

  Pennsylvania Highlands Community College

  
  This course will introduce the concepts of aircraft control by scan and interpretation of flight instruments. The student will learn to recognize unusual attitude indications and recover from such situations. Human Factors, CRM, and flight physiology will be emphasized. There will be an in-depth study of pitot-static and gyroscopic instrument systems and recognition of anomalies in these systems. The theory of operation, interpretation, and use of VOR, ADF, DME, GPS, RNAV, RMI, HSI and autopilot systems will be examined. A detailed study of IFR regulations, procedures, and publications for IFR operating rules in the U.S. Airspace System will be included. Aviation meteorology will be studied in more detail as well as recognition of potentially hazardous flight conditions. Successful completion of this course will provide an endorsement to take the FAA Instrument Rating written exam. Prerequisite(s): AVI 110 Private Pilot Theory or credit for previous ground training. 3 credits Prerequisite:    AVI110

  2.00 Credits

  Pennsylvania Highlands Community College

  
  'This course is designed for the Private Pilot to gain the skills necessary to precisely control the plane using basic attitude instrument flying and the airplane''s navigation systems. It is intended to be taken in conjunction with AVI 120 -Instrument Pilot Theory. The following components of instrument flight training will be mastered in this course: VOR and GPS holding; Localizer, DME and intersection holds; VOR and GPS approaches; Localizer and ILS approaches; cross-country procedures; federal aviation regulations; departure, enroute and arrival procedures; loss of communications and emergency procedures. Each new skill presented will be taught on the basis of previously mastered knowledge and skills; therefore, it is important that the student allow for sufficient flight time. Prerequisite(s): Private Pilot Certification; AV/ 110 Private Pilot Theory; AV/ 112 Private Pilot lab I; AV/ 113 Private Pilot lab II; or credit given for ground and flight training. Co-requisite(s): AV/ 120-Instrument Pilot Theory 2 credits (O lecture; 2 lab) ' Prerequisite:    AVI110 AND AVI112 AND AVI113 Corequisite:    AVI120
