1. My father is an expert of aviation (engines things, and license regulator). Contact me.
2. weather and physics are very important. you master those two subjects, you got it made.
3. This is some information that might be helpful, if you need more information please contact me. Age The application should be at last 18 years old. Knowledge The applicant shall have successfully completed, within the preceding 180 days, the private pilot – Aeroplane written examination conducted by South African Civil Aviation. The written examination shall include multiple choice questions concerning material and information in the following subject areas:- Air Law Rules and regulations relevant to the holder of a private pilot license Aeroplane, rules of the air, appropriate air traffic practices and procedures. Air craft General Knowledge 1-principles of operation of Aeroplane power plants, systems and instruments. 2-Aeroplane and power plant operating limitations, related operational information from the flight manual or other appropriate document. Flight Performance and Planning 1-Effects of loading and mass distribution on flight characteristics, mass and balance calculations, 2-Use and practical application of take-off, landing and other performance data; 3- Pre-flight and enroute flight planning appropriate to private operations under VFR, preparation and filing of Air traffic services flight plans appropriate air traffic procedures, position reporting procedures, altimeter setting procedures, operations in areas of high density traffic; Human Performance g) Human performance relevant to the Private Pilot – Aeroplane. Meteorology - Application of elementary aeronautical meteorology, procedures for obtaining, and use of, meteorological information , altimetry. Navigation (i) practical aspects of air navigation and dead-reckoning techniques; use of aeronautical charts. Operational Procedures (j) use of aeronautical documentation such as AIP, Notams, Aeronautical codes and abbreviations; appropriate precautionary and emergency procedures, including action to be taken to avoid hazardous weather and wake turbulence, and other operating hazards. Principles of Flight (k) principles of flight, including basic aerodynamics of the class of aeroplane concerned. Communication (l) communication procedures and phraseology as applied to VFR operations; action to be taken in case of communications failure. Skill The applicant shall demonstrate to the SOUTH AFRICAN CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY the procedures and manoeuvres depicted in Private Pilot Test Standard Booklet at the competence level described as acceptable for the issuance of the Private Pilot Licence-Aeroplane, including: (a) operation of the aeroplane within its limitations; (b) completion of all manoeuvres with smoothness and accuracy; (c) the exercise of good judgement and airmanship; (d) the application of aeronautical knowledge; and (e) maintenance of control of the aeroplane at all times, in such a manner that the successful outcome of a procedure or manoeuvre is never seriously in doubt. Medical Fitness The applicant shall hold a current Class 2 Medical Assessment, issued in compliance with the provisions of these Regulations. Experince At least 40 hours of flight time as a pilot of aero planes, where the applicant has flight time acceptable by the south African civil aviation authority as a pilot of aircraft in another category. It may determine whether this requirement may be reduced accordingly subject to a maximum reduction of 10 hours. Experiences as pilot under instruction in a synthetic flight trainer approved by the SOUTH AFRICAN CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY , up to a maximum of 5 hours , may be allowed.
4. Aviation law or regulations are for the most part common sense. The section of the FARs that would most concern a new pilot would be Part 91. As for the weather, learn it all!
5. If you get the new Sports Pilot license your knowledge will be limited.You basically need a drivers license and to take certain number of hours of flight lessons. But you can only fly single engines in good weather in daytime.
6. In order to become a pilot, you must pass a the Private Pilot knowledge test (written test) which consists of 60 multiple-choice questionson these subjects: 1. Airplanes and Aerodynamics 2. Airplane systems 3. Federal Aviation Regulations 4. Airports and airspace 5. Airplane performance 6. Aeromedical factors 7. Weather 8. Navigation 9. Cross-country flying There isn't a "most important part of each section". You must know the entire subject well enough to pass the wrritten with a 70% or better! Additionally, you must pass an oral exam during your flight test. The subjects where you do poorly on the written are usually hit on by your examiner in the oral so ALL of it is the "most important part".
