Updated to reflect vital Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulatory, procedural, and training changes, and with a new chapter on scenario-based training written by Arlynn McMahon, this indispensable tool prepares private pilots for the checkride with an FAA examiner. It answers the most commonly asked questions by examiners, clarifies the requirements of the written and oral portions, and presents practice questions from the exam with a reference to the specific information source from where the answer may be derived. This guide teaches not only what to expect on the private pilot oral exam, but also how to exhibit subject mastery and confidence while under the examiner’s scrutiny. An appendix, featuring a practical test checklist and a condensed table of private pilot practical test standards maneuvers, is also included.
