This exam is done to obtain the Aeronautical Medical Certificate (CMA) that is necessary to start the course. You can obtain the certificate by taking the clinical exams accredited by ANAC. Access the website of our partner CMA TIJUCA and schedule your exam.

  • Air Navigation

  • Air Traffic Regulations

3rd Stage: Conducting the Exam applied by ANAC

Upon completion of the theoretical course, students must take an exam prepared and applied by ANAC, which will be the third step necessary to become a private pilot. This exam consists of 100 questions, 20 of each subject seen in the theoretical course of which the candidate needs to get 70% of each subject correct to obtain the certificate of approval.

4th Stage: Realization of practical private pilot classes

Upon completion and approval of the theoretical course, the student will be able to start the practical stage of the course.

The practical course for private pilot consists of flight hours. The number of hours varies according to each school, but it is around 35 and 40 hours.

If the student is qualified to fly an airplane or qualified to fly a Glider, the total flight hours of the flight practice may be reduced, according to the rules of RBAC 61.

The Private Pilot Career

 

Being a private pilot is an opportunity to start and evolve in the much desired and glamorous profession of helicopter pilot in the future.

Of course, to be a commercial pilot you will have to take a few more courses, however, if you are not a private pilot, you will not be able to start this journey. That is, it is the first and most important step in a pilot's career.

And for those who have the possibility to have their own helicopter, you can pilot it. The private pilot cannot be paid, nor can he fly an air taxi, work in executive aviation or be registered as a helicopter pilot.

However, he can fly private aircraft to accumulate flight hours as a pilot in command, and in the future to advance his career by taking other courses in the field.
