FAA Airman Certification Standards: Flight Instructor for Helicopter (FAA-S-ACS-29) Overview:

NEW!  Spiral Bound for easy, lay-flat, reference!

The Airman Certification Standards (ACS) is the guide for students, instructors, and FAA-designated examiners to know what applicants must know, do, and consider for their FAA Knowledge Exam (written test) and practical test (checkride) to earn their pilot certificate or rating. The goal of the airman certification process is to ensure the applicant possesses knowledge and skill consistent with the privileges of the certificate or rating being exercised, as well as the ability to manage the risks of flight in order to act as pilot in command.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published the Flight Instructor Helicopter Airman Certification Standards (ACS) document to communicate the aeronautical knowledge, risk management, and flight proficiency standards for the commercial pilot certification in the airplane category, single-engine land and sea; and multiengine land and sea classes. This ACS incorporates and supersedes FAA-S-8081-16B Commercial Pilot and Flight Instructor Practical Test Standards for Helicopter.

The ACS is the foundation of the transition to a more integrated and systematic approach to airman certification by the FAA. The ACS is part of the Safety Management System (SMS) framework that the FAA uses to mitigate risks associated with airman certification training and testing.
