In generatl, most people don't understand thePrivate Pilot needed to complete their Private Pilot License. There are a lot of subject areas both on the ground and in the airplane you will need to cover to meet the requirements for your pilot training. Many people don't completely understand the Pilot Training requirements needed and just look at the Pivate Pilot License general requirements.
There are many requirements needed in order to complete each phase of your Private Pilot License Training. Pre Solo, Post Solo and Flight test Preparation are the three phases of your private pilot training.
In most cases you will find something like this outline of the general requirements. Remember this is just the general requirements for you to be eligible to take the private pilot practical test.

20 Hours Dual Instruction
10 Hours Solo

5 Hours Solo Cross Country
Now you want to remember this is just the general requirement. The ground instruction and student pilot requirments are not included in this requirement. Listed below are the other requirements needed to complete yourPrivate Pilot Training.
Student Pilot Requirements: When you are ready to solo an aircraft you are know as a student pilot. There are two different areas that are needed to be covered within the requirements that will apply to you. The pre solo requirements are the first to look at. Befrore you can go up and solo, there are also other requrements needed. Student Pilots are also required to have specific aeronautical knowledge before solo.
The next section of requirements that will apply to student pilots are the post solo requirements. These are the requirements that have to be met before you can go on your solo cross countries.
Flight Test requirements: In order to be eligible for the private pilot practical test you must meet the final requirements. The general requirements for private pilot training will need to be met in addition to the student pilot requirements. There are both aeronautical experience and aeronautical knowledge requirements included within these regulations. That is ground instruction and flight instruction.
Many times the student doesn't realize what is exactly required, this can add up to more flights if something is missed by the flight instructor. On the day of your flight test the pilot examiner could pick these items up if they are missed. For the flight test you want to understand that there are more than just the general aeronautical experience requirements to become a private pilot.
The reason I always explain this is so the student can get an idea of what is required to do at each stage of your training and then what is required for you to take your flight test. There are a lot of things to learn so my advice is to plan this process out before you spend a dime flying.
