📖 What’s Inside

Stage 1 — Pre-Solo Knowledge • Certificates, endorsements, and student pilot limitations • Aircraft airworthiness (ARROW, AVIATES) • Aerodynamics & stall awareness • Airspace & weather minimums (VFR made simple) • Aeromedical factors & illusions (IMSAFE, ICEFLAGS) • Mock oral prep questions + mnemonics

Stage 2 — Cross-Country & Advanced Knowledge • Flight planning with NWKRAFT • Navigation (Pilotage, Dead Reckoning, VOR, GPS) • In-depth airspace & special use areas • Weather theory & hazard recognition • Lost procedures & emergency landings • Aeronautical Decision Making (PAVE, DECIDE) • Mock oral prep + checklists

Stage 3 — Checkride Preparation (ACS-Aligned) • Privileges, regs, and limitations at the PPL level • Advanced aerodynamics (spins, stability, left-turning tendencies) • Go/No-Go weather decision making • Systems failures & emergencies • Oral exam strategies (how to answer like a pro) • FAA ACS maneuvers explained

Final Module — Post-PPL Knowledge & Beyond • Currency & proficiency requirements • High-performance, complex, tailwheel, and high-altitude endorsement • Safety & accident prevention (3P, SRM, personal minimums) • Pathways: Instrument, Commercial, CFI, ATP • Continuing education (WINGS, FAASTeam, AOPA, EAA)

Appendices • Acronyms & memory aids (ARROW, IMSAFE, NWKRAFT, etc.) • Quick reference formulas • Sample nav log • METAR/TAF cheat sheet
