Abbreviations are given to facilitate the cross-referencing process. Content: Each lesson contains a list of the tasks required to be completed before moving to the next lesson. A task may be listed as a review item (a task that was covered in a previous lesson) or as a new item (a task which is introduced to you for the first time). Each task is preceded by three blank checkoff boxes, which may be used by your CFI to keep track of your progress and to indicate that each task was completed. There are three boxes because it may take more than one flight to complete the lesson. Your CFI may mark the box(es) next to each task in one of the following methods (or any other method desired): - task completed to lesson completion standards D - demonstrated by instructor * A - accomplished by you S - safe/satisfactory P C - meets PTS or exceeds ACS standards 1 - above lesson standard 2 - meets lesson standard 3 - below lesson standard Most tasks are followed by book and page references that tell you where to find the information you need to study to accomplish the task successfully.

Page 4 of 13 Page 31, Reading Assignments for Flight Lessons: You are expected to be prepared for each flight lesson. Our reading assignments will include text references for new tasks to help you understand what is going to happen and how and why you need to do everything before you go to the airport. Each flight lesson in this book contains Objective Text references Content Review items New items Completion standards Comments, assignment, and notes Next to each new item in the Content section, we have provided the page number(s) study unitlevel references to read in Private Pilot Flight Maneuvers and Practical Test Prep (FM) and/or Pilot Handbook (PH), and the section to read, if appropriate, in your airplane s Pilot s Operating Handbook (POH). You can make use of the comprehensive index in the Gleim books if you need to analyze specific task element-level details. For the new items, you should read the material and attempt to understand the basic concepts. Try to anticipate and visualize the concepts and flight maneuvers. With this basic knowledge, your CFI can expand on the specific and finer points, especially when explaining how a task is done in your specific airplane. After your flight lesson, task items are fresh in your mind; they will make sense, and you should be able to understand and learn more. Study review items so you can explain them to your CFI and your examiner. After you study, relax and plan a time to begin reading to prepare for the next flight lesson. Study Tips As you read the material, attempt to understand the basic concepts. Try to anticipate and visualize the concepts and flight maneuvers. With this basic knowledge, your CFI can expand on the specific and finer points, especially when explaining how a task is done in your specific airplane. After your flight lesson, task items are fresh in your mind; they will make sense, and you should be able to understand and learn more. Study review items so you can explain them to your CFI and your examiner. After you study, relax and plan a time to begin preparing for the next flight lesson.

(Refer to Figure 18 on page 77.) What weather phenomenon is causing IFR conditions in central Oklahoma? A Low visibility only. B Low ceilings and visibility. C Heavy rain showers. Radar weather reports are of special interest to pilots because they indicate A large areas of low ceilings and fog. B location of precipitation along with type, intensity, and cell movement of precipitation. C location of precipitation along with type, intensity, and trend.
