The FAA created the Airman Certification Standards (ACS) to communicate the aeronautical knowledge, risk management, and flight proficiency standards for the private pilot certification in the airplane category. The goal of this document is to drive a systematic approach to all components of the airman certification system.

The ACS consists of Areas of Operation arranged in a logical sequence, beginning with Preflight Preparation and ending with Postflight Procedures. Each Area of Operation includes Tasks appropriate to that Area of Operation. Each Task begins with an Objective stating what the applicant should know, consider, and/or do. The ACS then lists the aeronautical knowledge, risk management, and skill elements relevant to the specific Task, along with the conditions and standards for acceptable performance
