Introduction to Flying

Chapter 1

Advisory Circulars (ACs)

Information the FAA wants to publish that hasn't made it into their other official publications yet

Notices to Airmen (NOTAMS)

Was briefly Notice to Air Missions but switched back to Notices to Airmen

More urgent than Advisory Circulars

Practical Test

The Practical Test Standards (PTS) were the main certification guidance for DPEs before the FAA enhanced them by coming out with the Airman Certification Standards (ACS)

The Sport Pilot practical test uses PTS and PPL uses ACS

Question

Why does the Why are the Sport Pilot Flight Instructor Rating combined in the same PTS..?
