Flight Training in the written world. This document is very lengthy and is probably easier to read and digest in printed form. It is NOT intended to replace the practical flight training offered by qualified flight instructors. It should only be used to: learn initial terms and explanations, familiarize yourself with what will be happening during your practical flight training, and review areas that you may have forgotten. I compiled this document from a host of sources to many to itemize. I extend my gratitude to all of the manufacturers, dealers, flight instructors, sport organizations, and FAA representatives for their generous contributions.
