COMMERCIAL PILOT CERTIFICATION COURSE (AMEL)

Ground Training Syllabus


Revision Date: August 2008

INTRODUCTION
This ground training syllabus meets the requirements of 14 CFR Part 141 Appendix D 3 (a)(1)
and (b)(1) through (15).
This ground training syllabus is designed to allow the pilot applicant to acquire the aeronautical
knowledge needed to safely operate as a private pilot and satisfactorily complete the Commercial
Pilot Knowledge Test.
Within this syllabus, there are two stages with 18 separate lessons, each with stated objectives
and completion standards that must be satisfied in order for the lesson to be complete. Adequate
knowledge of the specified study material is necessary for satisfactory progress in the individual
lessons and for overall progress in the course.
The individual lesson times are not mandatory. The hours in each lesson are primarily for
instructor and student guidance. However, total specified training hours at the end of the course
completion must be met before a student can receive a logbook endorsement or a ground school
completion certificate.
The sequence of lessons within a stage, except for the Stage Check and End-of-Course Test, may
be rearranged to suit individual instructor or student requirements, although, lessons should be
taught in sequential order as the syllabus has been arranged by use of the basic building block
method. Lesson 1310, the Stage Check for Stage I, must be presented at the end of Stage I.
Lesson 1318, the Stage Check for Stage II and End-of-Course Test, must be presented last.
However, only at the discretion and with the authorization of the Chief Instructor and Flight
Education Program Chair, a student may be allowed to continue training in the next stage before
completing a previous stage of training.
Every lesson contains a training outline and a detailed list of items that the student must
successfully complete. Normally, a lesson is completed in this allotted time. If a student is
unable to master the lesson in the specified time, it will be necessary to repeat all or a portion of
the lesson until the completion standards are met.
This syllabus has a written examination as a check of the students progress, which must be
passed. This course completion check at the end of this course assures that the student acquired
the aeronautical knowledge required to satisfactorily complete the FAA Commercial Pilot
(ASEL) Knowledge Test. The examination questions are extracted from the current FAA
Commercial Pilot Knowledge Test questions in appropriate subject matter areas, or a reasonable
facsimile. In addition, non FAA Commercial Pilot test bank questions may be used as it relates to
the aeronautical knowledge areas of 14 CFR Part 141 Appendix D 3 (a)(1) and (b)(1)-(16).
A record of the ground training received shall be formally documented on a chronological log of
student attendance, including lessons covered, names, and grades of any tests taken.

TRAINING SYLLABUS
Enrollment Prerequisites: There are no specific requirements to enroll in this course of
training.
Grading Criteria:
1. The overall performance grade is based on the knowledge, preparation and attitude of
the student for each lesson completed.
2. Grading criteria is to be based upon the building block method of instruction. A
lesson is not completed unless the instructor is satisfied with the students
performance in all areas, and awards the student a grade of satisfactory (S) or 70% or
higher on the entire lesson. The above criteria should be used as a guideline for this
assessment. Students will demonstrate satisfactory knowledge of lesson content and
achievement of lesson objectives by active participation in class discussion and by
correctly answering the instructors verbal and written questions. Minimum passing
score on the End-of-Course Test is 70%. Incorrect responses shall be corrected to
reinforce and ensure student understanding.
Objective: The objective of this course is for the student to learn the aeronautical knowledge
areas given in 14CFR 61.125 and 14 CFR 141. Appendix D 3 (a)(1) and (b)(1) through (15) and
the knowledge elements in the FAA Commercial Pilot Practical Test Standard version FAA-S8081-12C effective June 1,2012. This will prepare them for the FAA Commercial Pilot
Knowledge Written Exam.
Completion Standards: This ground training syllabus is complete when the student has
satisfactorily completed all lessons, and passed the End-of-Course Test with a minimum passing
score of 70% and all incorrect exam responses have been corrected to ensure student
understanding.
