This article will tie all of the Student Pilot /Pre-Solo and Post Solo Requirements together In order to be eligible for the Private Pilot License Practical test, you have to have everything that I have listed so far DOCUMENTED in your logbook I go more in detail in my book but I will get you up to speed on this
