The Airman Certification Standards (ACS) spell out the performance standards that you’ll need to meet during your private pilot test. This guide recently replaced the Practical Test Standards (PTS), and it’s important that you take time during your flight training to familiarize yourself with this document and use it to help gauge your progress.
This week’s tip takes a closer look at a few examples of the specific knowledge, skills, risk management elements and performance metrics found in the Private Pilot ACS.
