faa home study graduation certificate
Hi, thinking of getting my private license. Looking to do ground school
entirely at home, as I already am pretty familiar with most of the concepts covered by the FAA written test. FAA Rules say one can take the test with: e. A certificate of graduation from an aviation home study course developed by the aeronautical enterprise providing the study material. The certificate of graduation must correspond to the FAA written test for the certificate or rating sought. The aeronautical enterprise providing the course of study must also supply a comprehensive written test which can be scored as evidence that the student has completed the course of study. When the student satisfactorily completes the written test, it is sent to the course provider for scoring by an FAA certificated ground or flight instructor. The instructor evaluates the test and attests to the student's knowledge of the subjects presented in the course. Upon satisfactory completion, a graduation certificate is sent to the student. I've been looking at Sporty's home study thing. Does anybody know if they do the CFI signoff/ graduation certificate themselves? That is, does their (or anybody's) home study course include a written test which you either send electronically, or by mail, or (best) is automatically graded and "signed" by the computer when you complete the test? I'm trying to avoid giving a CFI $70 so that he can spend 15 seconds looking at my answers and signing off on the test (sorry CFIs). I've looked far and wide, and all the home study stuff is very coy about whether you can use their "certificates of graduation" to satisfy the above FAA rule. Thanks very much! |
