Plain English Meaning

The lesson-by-lesson plans that lay out what a flight student will learn, in what order, and to what standard.

Full Definition

Plural of syllabus. Structured outlines of training content, typically organized by lesson, that specify the maneuvers, knowledge areas, and standards to be covered during a course of flight instruction.

Context Anchor

Seen in flight school, instructor, and FAA training discussions, especially when describing how a subject should be added to pilot training.

Derivation

From Latin syllabus, meaning a list or table of contents. The Latin plural is syllabi, which is why you see this form rather than 'syllabuses' in formal aviation writing.
