Enter the planned times for the lesson in the flight table (single and multi engine, day\/night, dual\/PIC\/co-pilot, instrument, cross-country, take-offs and landings, VFR FTD) and in the ground table (theory, preparatory, study, exams). The rep.<\/strong> row shows the total already planned by the previous lessons of the course. These objectives feed course progress, statistics and time comparisons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-requisite lessons<\/strong> \u2014 Lessons that must be completed before this lesson becomes available. Choose a course in Lessons of<\/strong> (the current course is selected by default), then move lessons to Pre-requisites<\/strong>. Lessons of another course are marked with []<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-requisite exercises<\/strong> \u2014 Click the box to open Pre-requisite exercises from previous lessons<\/em>. Expand a lesson, select the exercises and their required grade, then click Select<\/strong>. The selected exercises are checked in all lessons of the course; the lesson title is only a reference.

Tip:<\/strong> when the course option The PIC when dual session is searchable<\/strong> is on (Design Course \u203a Publication and access), the PIC-Instructor<\/strong> conditions of a dual lesson become searchable in the training record: a search icon lists the members who currently meet them. It only appears when at least one PIC qualification or role is set; a memorandum condition alone is not enough.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
