Airman Certification Standards Private Pilot Airplane FAA-S-ACS-6A

New Private Pilot Airplane Airman Certification Standards FAA-S-ACS-6A, Change 1, June 2017. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published the Private Pilot – Airplane Airman Certification Standards (ACS) document to communicate the aeronautical knowledge, risk management, and flight proficiency standards for the private pilot certification in the airplane category, single-engine land and sea; and multiengine land and sea classes. This ACS incorporates and supersedes FAA-S-ACS-6, Private Pilot-Airplane Airman Certification Standards, Change 1. The FAA views the ACS as the foundation of its transition to a more integrated and systematic approach to airman certification. The ACS is part of the safety management system (SMS) framework that the FAA uses to mitigate risks associated with airman certification training and testing.
