Which item is NOT listed as a contact hour?

Contact hours are the periods when a student is receiving instruction under direct supervision of an instructor, across different training modalities. In this context, flight instruction, ground instruction, pre- and post-flight briefings, and simulator instruction all involve an instructor guiding the student toward specific training objectives, so they count as contact hours. Aircraft ferry flights are listed as a contact-hour activity because they are conducted under supervision and used to achieve training goals, such as gaining experience with different aircraft or operational procedures. Air Traffic Controller Training, however, is a separate discipline focused on ATC procedures and not part of the pilot-focused instructional activities counted as contact hours. Therefore, it’s not listed as a contact hour in this training context.
