half of the FAA Private Pilot Knowledge Test. Topics will include the principles of flight and aerodynamics, aircraft structure,
controls/instruments and systems. Through the use of flight simulators, the techniques of piloting and navigation will be
demonstrated and practiced. Physics and geometry concepts are taught and applied to aircraft design, flight control, and
navigation. Aviation II is the second course in the Part 1 “ground school” only course that provides eligibility to sit for the
Private Pilot Knowledge test. The required flight hours for the private pilot’s license are not part of these courses.
