The most innovative flight training approach of its kind, this syllabus maps out a combined flight and ground training course for the Private Pilot certificate and Instrument Rating, based on The Pilot's Manual Series: Access to Flight textbook. Students graduate prepared to operate in the full spectrum of the airspace system — the key to maximizing the utility of their pilot certificate and aircraft. This Instructor Edition includes everything in the Student Syllabus, with the addition of "Notes to the Instructor" provided in the margin of every lesson with teaching tips and guidance for the CFI facilitating the lesson.
This syllabus meets all FAA Part 141 and 61 requirements and incorporates FAA/Industry Training Standards (FITS) including scenario-based training and learner-centered grading.
The syllabus enables schools, instructors, or students to choose to supplement the program with other textbooks, videos, and other various course materials. It allows the freedom to teach or learn the material in the most effective way — on an individual basis. All Part 141 requirements have been met in a logical and user-friendly method, yet the course is equally effective for Part 61 operations and freelance instructors.
The Private Pilot and Instrument Rating requirements are merged into a single curriculum. This integrated approach provides the most efficient path to completion, is easier to follow than separate ground and flight training programs, and results in a pilot who is prepared to make decisions, operate as pilot-in-command, and take full advantage of their personal transportation solution.

- Can this syllabus be used in a Part 141 environment?
The syllabus can be used with a Part 141 curriculum. This is explained in the syllabus in the "Letter to the Chief Flight Instructor and Flight School." Here is what it says:
This course could also be approved under a Part 141 Air Agency Certificate. If you already hold a Part 141 Pilot School Certificate, you could add this course to your existing Training Course Outline. This could add additional benefits for your students in the area of VFR Cross Country training. Using Part 61 alone, the students in this syllabus must acquire a minimum of 50 hours of solo/PIC cross country time (a cross country is a non-stop flight of at least 50 NM), but there is no such 50 hour cross country requirement in the Instrument Rating coursework of Part 141, Appendix C. Using Part 141 you could eliminate many of the VFR Cross Country block or time-building lessons. The syllabus would then truly become a competency-based curriculum.
If your school is not already a Part 141 school, you could submit this syllabus together with a Training Course Outline that you develop and become a Part 141 school in order to take advantage of these student benefits. Put the potential savings from part 141 together with an FTD and the students time to train and cost to train would drop significantly, which would be a great selling point for your facility. The research indicates that students, who complete their training in less time and with less money, do so with less frustration and become lifelong customers!
The actual rule to use is Part 141.57 "Special Curricula" This rule essentially says that if you present the FAA with a syllabus that is equal to or greater than the rigor of the existing pilot requirements, then any different syllabus can become FAA approved.
