1. Do the following: a. b. c. d. e. Student Pilot license (certificate) is designed for the initial training period of flying. The student pilot must have a flight instructor present. He or she can solo after appropriate instructor endorsements. Recreational Pilot certificate limits the holder to: specific categories and classes of aircraft, the number of passengers which may be carried, the distance that may be flown from the departure point, flight into controlled airports, and other limitations. Private Pilot certificate lets the pilot carry passengers and provides for limited business use of an airplane. Commercial Pilot certificate lets the pilot conduct some operations for compensation and hire. Airline Transport Pilot certificate is required to fly as captain by some air transport operations.

1. Do the following: a. b. c. d. e. Instrument Rating The instrument rating, which equips you with the exacting skills needed to fly in the clouds and under conditions of reduced visibility, is the most frequent "next step" taken by private pilots seeking to advance their aeronautical education. If the private pilot certificate is the airman's bachelor's degree, the instrument rating is graduate school. Although some instructors advocate moving straight into instrument training after earning the private pilot certificate, others suggest waiting awhile until you have built up flying time, solidified your skills in the airplane, and gained the confidence as a pilot to tackle instrument training with assurance. There are no steadfast rules. It's really a matter of your own comfort level. BSA Aviation Merit Badge Clinic, supported by 176th Selfridge Composite Squadron, Civil Air Patrol 34
