Future Planned Releases Include Sport Pilot, Instrument
Training
Jeppesen announced Friday the release of its new Private Pilot
Online course, which utilizes interactive content that maximizes
learner retention.
"The Jeppesen Private Pilot Online course fully prepares
students to take the FAA written knowledge exam. Additionally, it
provides detailed flight and animated maneuvers lessons that can be
used effectively by both students and flight instructors. Since the
course was developed using Jeppesen's award-winning private pilot
textbook content, students have the option of purchasing a textbook
that parallels the online course," said Kert Thielen, Jeppesen's
manager of Aviation Training Services and Aviation Courseware
Development.
Jeppesen says it incorporated direct customer feedback, and
decades of experience and leadership in aviation courseware to
create what it terms "the most comprehensive online private pilot
training course on the market."
Jeppesen is offering three versions of the course: 1) A Part 61
Enhanced Ground School, Maneuvers, and Test Preparation version, 2)
A Part 61 with Stage Exams and Flight Lessons version, and 3) A
Part 141 with Stage Exams and Flight Lessons version. This version
is designed for flight schools and universities to meet the more
stringent FAR 141 requirements and includes all ground, maneuvers
and flight lessons.
All versions are delivered on the Jeppesen Learning Center,
which tracks all students and instructors as they progress through
the lessons and exams. Instructors have access to review all
student work including lesson completions, exam results down to
specific questions and overall school results.
The PPL course is the first in a series of online courses that
Jeppesen plans to release. Future releases will include a Sport
Pilot Online course and an Instrument Pilot Online course.
