Synopsis

ASA’s Oral Exam Guide Series is an excellent study tool for students and instructors alike. Arranged in a question-and-answer format, this comprehensive guide lists the questions most likely to be asked by examiners and provides succinct, ready responses. Use when you’re gearing up for the Practical Exam, as well as for a general refresher. FAA references are provided throughout for further study.

This twelfth edition of the Private Pilot Oral Exam Guide by Michael D. Hayes has been updated to remain in alignment with the Airman Certification Standards (ACS), with new information added or expanded on these subjects: BasicMed, aircraft maintenance (including Airworthiness Directives, Time Before Overhaul and Airworthiness), weather services (Graphical Forecast for Aviation or GFA, G-AIRMET, freezing levels), aircraft performance and weight and balance, and new technologies including ADS-B, TIS-B, SATR. Regulatory information has been updated to include SFARs, ICAO flight plans and night definition.

This guide also includes a chapter dedicated to scenario-based questions, by contributing author Arlynn McMahon. Student responses to these “open-ended” questions demonstrate an understanding of the big picture and convey the practical application of what’s important and why.

The Private Pilot Oral Exam Guide is the comprehensive guide to prepare you for the FAA checkride.
