Fourth, Cramming for the Test
Your goal is to pass the FAA practical test for your sport-pilot certificate. Toward that goal your instructor will help you practice for the test, giving you at least three hours of instruction that will be very similar to what the experience of taking the test will be like. You'll be practicing ...
  • Takeoffs and landings.
  • Turns and other maneuvers.
  • Slow flight.
  • Stalls.
  • Emergency procedures.
Your instructor will be guided by an FAA document called the Sport-Pilot Practical Test Standards (PTS). You should have a copy as well. The FAA flight examiner will not attempt to trick you or to test you on any skill not described in the PTS.
