Flight training syllabus for Private Pilots
Welcome to the official AAFC flight training syllabus that may differ from other organisations within Malaysia in regard to content and length of training.
It has been designed by captain Chow, Head of Flight training and Club Captain of the Air Adventure Flying Club Subang: “It gives us great pleasure to take you up to the sky and share with you our knowledge”, we will ensure that not only you have a solid knowledge foundation and airmanship but also have fun and enjoy this most rewarding activity. Let me assure all AAFC students that Andreas, Michael, Zul, Keith, Hafiz, Sebastian and myself will do our utmost to provide you with a joyful and rewarding learning experience.
Familiarisation, this lesson be be for 1.5 hours and your flying experience will be 0.6 hours or around 35 minutes and wil
l
include: aircraft systems, Arrow documents, emergency drills, current flying regulations, tech log and authorisation, external checks, engine start and warm up: to get your aircraft ready for the flight, this is important and should be done for before EACH flight. In this video student pilot Joel Kuan and student Albert Tee do a pre flight check on our training aircraft Cessna 172 P – 9M NCU. I suggest you print out the NCU checklist or the checklist that is corresponding to the aircraft you will be checking. There is little use having a checklist of an Airbus 380 if you wanna fly a cessna 172. But also among the 172, and we have 3 to choose from there are big variances in these aircraft.
