STUDENT STAGE CHECKS AND RESOURCES
Private Pilot and Sport Pilot Stage Checks and Resources
Private Pilot and Sport Pilot Students
Throughout your initial training you will be working to complete three major stages. Each stage has various requirements that you must complete. Your skills and knowledge will be tested across a variety of worksheets, quizzes, and then a final stage exam. After demonstrating proficiency for all parts of a stage, you will be able to participate in that stage's item: your first solo, cross-country flights, or taking your check-ride.
Within each stage there are a variety of resources, worksheets and quizzes. Work with your CFI to know which resources to read and quizzes to complete in conjunction with the Sporty's syllabus.

Stage 1
Pre-Solo
The first major milestone in flight training is your first solo. Stage 1 consists of the basics - from preflight to maneuvers - up through solo.

Stage 2
Cross Country
After your solo, you'll start flying to different airports. Stage 2 is all about navigation, weather, airspace, performance, and communications.

Stage 3
Checkride Prep
The moment you've all been waiting for: your checkride! But first, you must demonstrate proficiency across various competencies.
