Can't go wrong with Gleim
- By Joe // PP-ASEL from Madison AL USA on Thursday, January 14, 2016
- Pros: Gleim's study units and the FAA Aviation Instructor's Handbook, in one book, along with Gleim's end of unit questions and a practice exam.
- Cons: N/A
- Review: For those desiring to becoming aviation instructors, jumping into the FOI material will be quite a departure from the normal study of aerodynamics, airspace, weight & balance, et al. However, unless one already has a teaching certificate, FOI is in your future! First off, the material is very beneficial and will change the way you approach your own future flight training. In my opinion, Gleim does a masterful job of presenting this very complicated/theoretical info into those "bite-sized chunks" that one can realistically absorb. They also include the FAA Aviation Instructor's Handbook (minus the 6 appendices, which are not relevant toward the FOI exam.) My studying advice: read the chapter(s) in the FAA handbook, then read the respective outline (study unit), then go through the questions at the end of the study unit. You'll be amazed at how quickly these concepts will soak into your brain and, in short order, you'll be ready to take the FOI exam.

Great organization liek other Gleim books
- By Suzanne from Virginia Beach VA USA on Tuesday, December 22, 2009
- Pros: Concise, organized, efficient
- Cons: None
- Review: Liek other Gleim books, the content is arranged in related groups so you're not "all over the place" when reviewing material. It is devoid of unnecessary padding which makes it a pleasure to use. This is my second time around with Gleim. I have a fellow pilot, Heather M. to thank for introducing me to the Gleim Instrument Pilot FAA Knowledge Test guide, and I will definitely consider the Gleim series in the future.

Does the job.
- By John from San Luis Obispo CA USA on Thursday, November 01, 2018
- Pros: Tells you why the "incorrect" answers are not what the FAA wants.
- Cons:
- Review: I'm not sure that you can pass this knowledge test without using a study guide. In fact, for this particular test, you are better off not reading the Fundamentals of Instructing book at all and just studying the Gleim book.
