Written to help
prepare applicants for their oral exams with FAA examiners. Using a
question-and-answer format, each Oral Exam Guide lists the questions
most likely to be asked by examiners and provides succinct, ready
responses. Pilots will find these Guides indispensable tools in both
planning for what to expect during the airplane checkride, and mastering
the subject matter. Instructors rate them as excellent preparation for
students, as well as preps for Flight Reviews, aircraft transitions, and
as general refresher material.
The Private Oral Exam Guide is designed for student pilots
training for the Private Pilot Certificate. All the subjects a Private
Pilot candidate will be tested on during checkrides and review flights
are covered. Chapters are dedicated to certificates and documents,
weather, determining performance and limitations, airplane systems,
cross-country flight planning, night operations, and aeromedical
factors. References for further study are provided throughout the book,
and additional study questions conclude each chapter. Answers and
explanations were researched using FAA documents (which are identified
so readers know where to go for further study) as well as interviewing
FAA examiners.
This book teaches applicants not only what to expect, but also how to
exhibit subject mastery and confidence when under the examiner’s
scrutiny. It identifies the candidates’ strengths, weaknesses, and gaps
in their aeronautical knowledge, which increases study efficiency. Soft
cover, 5-1/4" x 8-1/4", 208 pages. (Ninth Edition, June 2009.)
