Student Pilot Guide FAA-H-8083-27A: Read this manual before you start your Flight Training or pick a Flying School!

by Federal Aviation Administration

This publication is intended to serve as a guide for prospective student pilots and for those already engaged in flight training. You will learn The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) invites you to join the general aviation community of pilots. It is a community of civil aviation operations other than those air carriers holding a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. General aviation makes up approximately 96 percent of U.S. aircraft and 60 percent of U.S. flight hours flown. General aviation is often misunderstood as only small, propeller-driven aircraft. A large jet or cargo plane operated under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 91 can be a general aviation aircraft.
