This training is the VATSTAR equivalent of the FAA Private Pilot License but simplified for the flight simulator environment. This is what the FAA Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge says about the Private Pilot Certificate:

A private pilot is one who flies for pleasure or personal business without accepting compensation for flying except in some very limited, specific circumstances. The Private Pilot Certificate is the certificate held by the majority of active pilots. It allows command of any aircraft (subject to appropriate ratings) for any noncommercial purpose and gives almost unlimited authority to fly under VFR. Passengers may be carried and flight in furtherance of a business is permitted; however, a private pilot may not be compensated in any way for services as a pilot, although passengers can pay a pro rata share of flight expenses, such as fuel or rental costs.

VATSTAR is using real-world material freely provided by FAA and referenced throughout the lessons.
