The July/August 2016 issue of FAA Safety Briefing focuses on the world of student pilots and airmen-in-training. Building on our previous student pilot-themed editions in 2012 and 2014, this issue provides tips and resources for success in initial pilot certification. It also explores the new Airman Certification Standards (ACS) which begins rolling out this summer. The ACS lists the standards for what an applicant needs to know, consider, and do in order to pass both the knowledge test and the practical test for a certificate or rating.
Feature articles include:
- The ABCs of ACS – A Better Certification System for Future Pilots (p 10),
- Here’s My Advice – Pilot Tips from Top CFIs (p 14),
- Junkyard Dog or Factory Fresh – Choosing the Right Trainer for You (p 20)
