Maneuvers Course

Welcome to the maneuvers course. We’ve videos, lesson notes, flashcards questions and handouts to guide you through the maneuvers required for private and commercial pilots. Private pilot applicants may find learning about the commercial maneuvers to be helpful even though they are not required on their flight tests.

As with all our courses, practice is the key to successfully translating acquired knowledge into ability. The vast majority of students (including your instructors) cannot efficiently translate the knowledge of this course into actual ability to fly the maneuvers without considerable time spent, on the ground, chair-flying procedures.

Chair-fly. Chair-fly. Chair-fly.
