Pros: all good stuff
Cons: I don't have any negatives for this product
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.

This guide is well laid out and presented in a very logical order. Covers the "real" information needed to pass the oral portion of the examination check-ride. Worth the money.

Worth the money
By Lewis
from Raymond ME USA
on Monday, December 10, 2018
Pros: Covers all the areas
Cons: Need to check for FAA changes
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.

Great prep for the check ride
By Lewis
from Raymond ME USA
on Thursday, November 07, 2019
Pros: Covers all areas
Cons: Wish it could be updated when regs change
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.

By Tanner

Pros: cheap, questions almost identical or exact to the oral test
Cons: airplane systems section refers to a C152 so it might not pertain to what you learned to fly in
Review:
This book was a major player in helping me pass my oral. It does a good job at covering a wide area of topics and questions that will be asked during your oral.

No expectations; pleasantly surprised
By Will
from Henrico VA USA

Pros: 'Go anywhere' size; concise and well organized
Cons: None
Review:
I didn't know what to expect when I ordered this product. I was very pleased once I started reading and using this exam guide. The questions and answers are all concise and well organized. Each item is also well referenced if the reader wants to quickly expand on the subject. I also liked the Additional Study Questions at the end of each chapter. These are generally questions that have answers specific to your training aircraft or will require a little more head scratching.

Excellent Book
By Robert M.

Pros: Loads of information that's easy to find
Cons: None
Review:
Do not take your checkride until you have read this book. I read through it a couple times, and my checkride was as easy as can be. Pretty much any question the examiner is going to ask is addressed in the book. Highly recommended.

Cons:
Review:
The book covers most items very well. That's 90% of what I needed. I think some additional material on flight planning (duats?, etc.) would be useful. (that would even work as a second book).
The SRM section is very nice, but I think could be organized to make it easier to use (such as, this stuff can be done preflight, that stuff is for during the flight, etc.)

Pros: Consise
Cons: None really
Review:
I found this book helpful. By the time you get to this stage, you should know most of the material. I went through with a highlighter and highlighted anything I didn't feel comfortable with. Then I went back a just re-read the highlighted materials a few time. Was very useful I thought. Only knock is on the weather charts where there are no pictures to help and you need to reference another source.

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.

Review:
As with any test preparation, study time is of essence. Recommendation is to have this book at the beginning of the flight portion of learning and apply the concepts in parts. This product is extremely useful in preparing for the oral and and check-ride. Reading the various parts while preparing for final testing allows one to gleen vital knowledge and enhance confidence with pilotage and flying skills. Passed test with confidence, and great reference after the test(s).

Better than nothing.
By John
from Ottawa Lake MI USA
on Thursday, April 21, 2022
Pros: It contained some helpful information.
Cons: It had too many questions with no correct answer provided.
Review:
This book was a relaticely useful study guide. It contained some information that was part of the oral checkride. However the main frustration I had with it was at the end of each chapter it gave a list of questions to expect on the checkride, many of which were on the checkride, but did not provide the answers to those questions, nor were the answers contained in the text of the study guide. Studying the questions without knowing the answers is not helpful, and having to constantly look the answers up in outside sources is time consuming and difficult. A more comprehensive study guide would be much more helpful.
