The Private Oral Exam Guide is designed to help prepare student pilots for the oral exam portion of their checkride with FAA examiners. All the subjects a Private Pilot candidate will be tested on during checkride and review flights are covered here.
Using a question-and-answer format, this indispensable tool lists the
questions most likely to be asked by examiners and provides succinct, ready
responses. Instructors rate the oral exam guide series as excellent resources
for students in both planning for what to expect during the airplane checkride,
and mastering the subject matter. This guide is also great preparation for
flight reviews, aircraft transitions, and as general refresher material.
This 12th edition 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. Includes a Risk Assessment matrix and Flight Risk Assessment Tool
(FRAT). Exam Tips and Notes have been added throughout.
Scenario-based
questions have become an integral part of the Practical Test and an important
tool in an examiner’s toolbox. 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. Noted SBT expert, Arlynn McMahon (2009
National Flight Instructor of the Year, and recipient of the 2010 NATA Award for
Excellence in Pilot Training Award), provides insight into these scenario-based
questions and will be invaluable to students preparing for their checkride.
Questions, answers, and explanations in this guide were researched using FAA
documents (identified so readers know where to go for further study) as well as
through interviews with FAA examiners. References for further study are provided
throughout the book, and additional study questions conclude each chapter.

A must have study resource
- By charles n cox CFI, CFII, CFIME, ATP on Sunday, August 09, 2020
- Pros: all good stuff
- Review: The oral exam is a tough exam to prepare for because the range is so wide for the possible questions and also the best and most correct answers. This guide along with the other oral exam guides are probably the best money you will ever invest in your piloting endeavor.

Great prep for the check ride
- By Lewis from Raymond ME USA on Thursday, November 07, 2019
- Pros: Covers all areas
- Review: This document has ensured my private pilot candidates all of the areas they can be exposed to during their first check ride. And as a result, each has passed on their first shot with the DPE. The orals are the one area an IP tries to prepare their candidates to the best of their abilities, but you just don't know what the DPE is going to ask or how they are going to ask questions needing an understanding of the regulations, not just rote memory.

Worth the money
- By Lewis from Raymond ME USA on Monday, December 10, 2018
- Pros: Covers all the areas
- Review: Great prep book for the oral. Due to constant changes by the FAA, do not think this is the only thing to reference. However, it pretty much covers the questions an examiner is going to ask. The other questions asked are the ones concerning the questions you missed on the knowledge test.

- Pros: Simple, easy to use, very knowledgeable
- Review: This book is definitely a must, it has capitalized on many things that i have overlooked in my studying, it has direct questions and direct answers, no fuss just straight to the point, in fact it has so much, it over prepares you for the oral, it has literally every possible question an examiner could ask.

Q: I'm needing the PTS book for signal engine planes is this what I need?
A: This Practical Test Standards (PTS) for Private Pilot is no longer being used as of June 15, 2016. The FAA has transitioned from the PTS to the new Airman Certification Standards. You can find the Private Pilot Airman Certification Standards book here which is the direct replacement to the PTS.
