Bob Miller Flight Training Re-Vamps PPL/Refresher Curriculum

Bob Miller Flight Training - Online will be conducting a totally revamped 8-Week Private Pilot/Refresher Webinar Course beginning on Tuesday, March 20 and will run every Tuesday evening from 7pm to 9pm EST through May 8, 2012. This course is ideally suited for the private pilot student as well as for veteran pilots looking to get ready for a flight review or who simply want to get back up to speed.

Course Outline:
 
Week 1 Documents and Certificates: Proof that aircraft and pilots are both safe and legal to fly is found in the various documents and certificates acceptable to the FAA. Pilot qualifications and currency, required aircraft instruments and equipment, as well as scheduled aircraft inspections form the basis of week 1 of this course.

Week 2 Aerodynamics and Aircraft Performance: Understanding what makes airplanes fly, principles of thrust, weight, lift, and drag, turning tendencies, G-loading, unusual flight attitudes including stalls and spins, weight and balance, and related aircraft performance are detailed in this session.

Week 3 Aircraft Systems: Unlocking the complexities of the numerous systems incorporated in today's technologically advanced aircraft is a basic requirement of every pilot. Systems covered include the engine, electrical, control, Pitot-static, vacuum, attitude-heading reference (AHRS), and air-data (ADC).

Week 4 Aviation Weather: There is no other variable in aviation as perverse as the weather and no other risk factor plays as great a role in the outcome of every flight as the environment in which we fly. Understanding the forces that create the weather is as important as the myriad of reports we have to predict the weather, all of which are covered in this session.

Week 5 The National Airspace System: Today's national airspace system is the result of over 65 years of negotiation between the FAA and users of the system. Each component of this system possesses differing operating rules, weather requirements, and communications procedures.

Week 6 Federal Aviation Regulations: Airline pilots were recently surveyed about risk factors they incur during every flight. The number one reported risk factor was "getting from point A to point B without a violation! There are literally thousands of rules that impact every flight operations. Knowing why these rules are required and having a convenient way to recall these rules forms the essence of this session.

Week 7 Aeromedical Factors: The old saying applies, "If man were meant to fly, he would have been born with wings!" In this regard, flying does involve an artificial environment that often interferes with our body's brain, balancing mechanisms, visual perceptions, and oxygen requirements. We will examine these mechanisms as they apply to flight.

Week 8 Cross- Country Planning: Ultimately, flying means traveling quickly from one place to another. How we do this without getting lost, how long it takes, how much fuel is required, and what happens if our destination airport suddenly closes is the topic of this final session of the course. Included is the world of TFRs (temporary flight rules), notams (notices to airmen), SFRAs (special flight rules areas), and national security issues. 

All you need is a computer with a reasonably fast internet connection and an internal speaker or headset.  We will send you easy-to-understand log in instructions.  Then, several minutes before each scheduled session, simply log in to the internet site we send you, then sit back and enjoy! The first session is free!  Just in case you are not familiar with webinar technology and would like to give it a try, we're offering Session 1 absolutely free.  Simply follow the link below to register without cost or obligation. The cost to continue the course is $149.
