• Applicable subjects of the "Aeronautical Information Manual" and the appropriate FAA advisory circulars.

• Aeronautical charts for VFR navigation using pilotage, dead reckoning, and navigation systems.

• Radio communication procedures.

• Recognition of critical weather situations from the ground and in flight, windshear avoidance, and the procurement and use of aeronautical weather reports and forecasts.

• Safe and efficient operation of aircraft, including collision avoidance, and recognition and avoidance of wake turbulence.

• Effects of density altitude on takeoff and climb performance.

• Weight and balance computations.

• Principles of aerodynamics, powerplants, and aircraft systems.

• Stall awareness, spin entry, spins, and spin recovery techniques.

• Preflight action that includes:

• Aeronautical decision making and judgment

- How to obtain information on runway lengths at airports of intended use, data on takeoff and landing distances, weather reports and forecasts, and fuel requirements.

- How to plan for alternatives if the planned flight cannot be completed or delays are encountered.
