Instrument Pilot Oral Exam Guide: Comprehensive Preparation for the FAA Checkride

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 evaluators during the practical exam and provides succinct, ready responses. FAA references are provided throughout for further study.

This eleventh edition of the Instrument Pilot Oral Exam Guide aligns with the Airman Certification Standards (ACS), with new and expanded content for the preflight, departure, enroute, and arrival phases of instrument flight as well as scenario-based training. Additional study material for Instrument Instructor (CFII) candidates and guidance for instrument proficiency checks (IPC) make this book valuable both for instructors and for pilots preparing for the Instrument checkride or an IPC.
