Flight Instructor Oral Exam Guide

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 it when you’re gearing up for the Practical Exam or as a general refresher. FAA references are provided throughout for further study.

This seventh edition of the Flight Instructor Oral Exam Guide by Michael D. Hayes includes “Fundamentals of Instruction” questions covering the subjects from the FAA’s Aviation Instructor’s Handbook (FAA-H-8083-9). The latest Practical Test Standards are accounted for, including “steep spirals” and “180-degree power-off approach” flight maneuvers.

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 is important and why.

The Flight Instructor Oral Exam Guide is the comprehensive guide to prepare you for the FAA checkride.
