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. New for the Seventh Edition is an Appendix with FAA guidance for the Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC), and an internet element that provides readers with additional tools and resources (see link below).

Pilots will find the Oral Exam 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 Instrument Proficiency Checks (IPCs), aircraft transitions, and as general refresher material. Includes Appendix for Instrument Flight Instructor (CFII) candidates. Soft cover, 173 pp. (Seventh Edition, 2009.)
