Here is a step-by-step program of 16 lessons in a large workbook format. Changes to FAR Part 65 make a home-study course possible. Now you can do 90% of the (book) work at home. Only 10% of the (shop) work need be done in a loft. Each lesson presents a reading assignment, reading materials, sample questions, and detailed, referenced answers. Lessons are keyed to paragraphs in The Parachute Manual. This course is an absolute necessity to anyone applying for the rigging certificate because while the FAA made the study/work requirements easier, they strengthened the written, oral and practical exams.
