Flight Training Equipment List

 
The list represents an investment in your long-term training, not simply for a single semester. Consider purchasing a quality flight bag - it will be a one-time purchase that will consolidate your flight gear and last through years of use.

Many of the required FAA publications are free online at www.faa.gov . BSU-specific training publications including aircraft checklists, training manuals, and the entire list of required publications for your course of training are free online at  http://www.bridgew.edu/aviation/Flight%20Manuals.cfm .

It is every pilot's responsibility to familiarize themselves with the required publications, and maintain currency of knowledge at all times.

All students must acquire the following items before their first flight lesson:
