What is Part 61 flight training?
Training conducted directly against the part of the federal aviation regulations that lists what every pilot must learn and demonstrate. There is no FAA-approved syllabus to follow, so the instructor sets the order and the schedule bends around the student. Most independent instructors and small flight schools work this way.
That is the whole entry for now. The longer version, with the mechanics and worked examples, is still to be written. See autorotation for how those read once they exist.
