It maps the syllabus curriculum to enable tracking of ground and flight training in the Cessna Flight Training System online Course Tracking Application (CTA). Each ground element of Cleared for Hire has been adapted into up-to-date online home-study lessons and the flight lessons are represented by individual training scenarios. The FAA has reviewed the Cleared for Hire syllabus and determined that when incorporated into a fully developed curriculum, it will adequately meet the requirements of a 14 CFR part 141 commercial pilot training curriculum. This addendum maintains the Cleared for Hire three stage structure, training sequence and integrated ground and flight training. The stages of Cleared for Hire are subdivided into two or more “phases”, each containing multiple knowledge lessons and flight scenarios. Progress checks from Cleared for Hire are located in phases at key points in the course including those marking the end of a stage. You will use this document as your day-to-day guide for training since it provides all the details for applying the syllabus with the curriculum elements. You will also find useful information regarding the use and application of the FAA Industry Training Standards (FITS) concepts. As noted in the FAA review letter, Cleared for Hire may also be used with a 14 CFR part 61 commercial pilot training curriculum when adjusted for the part 61 requirements. STEPS FOR BECOMING A COMMERCIAL PILOT Earning a commercial pilot certificate is a major milestone in a pilot’s career since it is the gateway to flying for hire. Your Cessna Pilot Center will explain in detail the course enrollment requirements shown below: • Be at least 18 years old prior to course graduation (you can start training earlier). • Hold at least a private pilot certificate. • For a Part 141 course, hold an instrument rating or be concurrently enrolled in an instrument rating course. • Hold a current third class medical certificate. • Pass a test on aeronautical knowledge (this course prepares you for that test). • Complete the required flight training for the course (see Appendix A). • Pass a commercial pilot practical test. COURSE ELEMENTS The Cessna online pilot training • Provides innovative and interactive learning exercises. • Is accessible anywhere you have an Internet connection. The unique design of the training program • Integrates web-based knowledge sessions with flight scenarios. • Ensures that before every flight you will have the required knowledge to succeed. i Ver. 1.00 You and your instructor will discuss the schedule for your training and you will know • When to complete the appropriate web-based knowledge instruction • What to prepare for each flight scenario. Upon completion of each flight scenario you and your instructor will • Review the elements of the flight scenario and the scenario outcome. • Compare your performance to the completion standards. • Independently evaluate the tasks in the flight scenario. • Discuss and compare the results. • Discuss the next flight scenario. Please note that it may take you more than one flight to complete a flight scenario to the established standards. COURSE STRUCTURE STAGES The course is divided into three stages: • Stage 1: Cross-Country, Night and Maneuvers Review • Stage 2: Complex Airplanes and Commercial Pilot Maneuvers • Stage 3: Commercial Pilot Practical Test Preparation PHASES Each stage is divided into phases. There are a total of eight phases: Stage 1: Cross-Country, Night and Maneuvers Review Phase 1: Learning Professional Cross-Country and Night Procedures Phase 2: Refining Navigation and Basic Maneuver Skills Phase 3: Building Cross-Country Experience Stage 2: Complex Airplanes and Commercial Pilot Maneuvers Phase 4: Flying Complex Airplanes Phase 5: Flying Commercial Maneuvers Stage 3: Commercial Pilot Practical Test Preparation Phase 6: Preparing for your Commercial Pilot Checkride Phase 7: Fine Tuning Skills Phase 8: Achieving Your Goal SCENARIOS There are multiple flight scenarios within each phase. The completion standards for the scenario tasks in each phase are found in that phase’s Phase Proficiency Checklist. Once all items on the phase proficiency checklist are completed to the level of performance required for that phase, you can then move on to the next phase of training. You are not required to complete every flight scenario within a phase, but it is highly recommended that you do so, as the scenarios progress in complexity to give you maximum efficiency in your training. Progress Checks are required scenarios. Ver. 1.00 ii
