The "Airman Certification Standards (ACS)" is the guide for aviation students, instructors, and FAA-designated examiners to know what pilot and aviation mechanic license applicants must know, must perform, and consider in preparing for their FAA Knowledge Exam and practical (checkride) to earn their certificate or rating. The ACS adds task-specific knowledge and risk management elements to each subject area; the result is a comprehensive presentation that integrates the requirements for knowledge and skill in both the FAA knowledge and practical tests, into one overall FAA standard.

The Airman Certification Standard (ACS) is the guide for aviation students, instructors, and FAA-designated examiners to know what pilot and industry license applicants must know, do, and consider for their FAA Knowledge Exam and practical (checkride), in order to earn a certificate or rating.
