Summary

For both student pilots learning the basics of the instrument rating and licensed pilots looking to brush up on their knowledge before flight reviews, this essential guide to the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) oral "checkride" provides answers to the exam's most commonly asked questions and also indicates exactly where the material can be found in FAA literature. Newly revised to reflect important FAA regulatory, procedural, and training changes, the study guide is divided into four question-and-answer sections which examine flight planning, departure, en route, and arrival issues. Subtopics covered include preflight action for aircraft, gyroscopic system, fundamentals of weather, and precision approaches.
