14.2. PILOT TRAINING
In order to introduce the student pilot to the essentials of control of the M-8 Eagle aircraft and put the
technical training required of a pilot to practical use in developing his overall skills, a structured approach to
training is required. This training will be somewhat country and regulations specific; the following is simply
a guide. The Chief Flying Instructor at the various training facilities will likely establish the full details of the
training program offered to the trainee for Light Sports Aircraft training, or it may be carried out under a
program set by a country’s aviation administration. The general outline will however follow the program
below and is offered by the manufacturer as a guide, as required under the LSA regulations.
This training requires constant reference to the aircraft’s Pilot Operating Handbook (POH), the aircraft
Maintenance Manual and other material available from the trainee’s Instructor and in general terms would
proceed according to the steps below. Though individual trainees will proceed through each of these
stages at different rates, depending on existing skills, available time, continuity of training and their speed
of learning the various tasks, the indicative stage training times may be a useful guide. To explain the
details of the content of each stage, the processes followed by the instructor and his student in this
training is also detailed below.
