The course is accessible 24/7 and free for AOPA members. It's designed to help you identify areas that may require additional review before you begin flying a small airplane with an instructor.
By completing the course, you'll earn a certificate of completion and nine FAA WINGS credits.
What will be covered:
- Regulations including VFR minimums
- How to get a weather briefing
- Airspace
- Radio communications
- Flight Following
- Sectional charts
- Pilot controlled airport operations
- And much more
