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 fourteenth edition of the Private Pilot Oral Exam Guide aligns with the
Airman Certification Standards (ACS) and covers pilot qualifications,
preflight/postflight procedures, airworthiness, aircraft systems, performance
and limitations, airspace, airport operations, weather, flight planning, human
factors, night operations, emergency equipment, and more. This resource prepares
applicants for the Private Pilot Airplane checkride and is valuable as a general
refresher.
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.

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.
