PRACTICAL FLIGHT TRAINING FOR NPL WEIGHT SHIFT CONTROLLED MICROLIGHTS You can expect the syllabus set by flight schools to differ in respect of the implementation of the requirements. However, the following is offered as a guide to prospective student pilots on what they will cover in their training. The practical flight training syllabus set out below is broken up into 5 phases. The is to train a student pilot to the level of proficiency required for the issue of a type rating for light sport weight shift controlled microlights, and to provide the training necessary to act as pilot-in-command of any light sport weight shift controlled microlight for which he or she holds a valid class or type rating, engaged in non-revenue flights under visual flight rules. Each lesson will be repeated until a satisfactory level is obtained. These lessons are set out as follows: Phase 1: Lesson 1: Exercise 1 – 3 Air experience Lesson 2: Exercise 4 & 5: Effects of controls and taxiing Lesson 3: Exercise 6: Straight and level Phase 2: Lesson 4: Exercise 7 & 8: Climbing and descending Lesson 5: Exercise 9: Turning Lesson 6: Exercise 10A & B: Slow flight and stalling Lesson 7: Exercise 12 & 13: Initial Circuits Lesson 8: Exercise 12 & 13: Advanced Circuits Phase 3: Lesson 9: Exercise 12 & 13: Cross wind circuits and landings Lesson 10: Exercises 1E, 5E, 12E & 13E: Circuit emergencies Lesson 11: Exercise 12 & 13: Check ride to first solo Lesson 12: Exercise 14: First Solo Lesson 13: Exercise 12 & 13: Solo circuits Phase 4: Lesson 14: Exercise 15: Advanced turning Lesson 15: Exercise 16: Forced landing without power Lesson 16: Exercise 17A: Low level flying Lesson 17: Exercise 17B: Precautionary landing Phase 5: Lesson 18: Exercise 18A: Navigation – dual Lesson 19: Exercise 18A, B & C: Navigation with problems and GPS - dual Lesson 20: Exercise 18A: Navigation – solo Lesson 21: Exercise 19: Basic instrument flight Phase 6: Lesson 22: Flight test prep Lesson 23: NPL flight test Lesson 24: NPL test – NAV
