Instrument Pilot 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 when you’re gearing up for the Practical Exam, as well as for a general refresher. FAA references are provided throughout for further study.

This tenth edition of the Instrument Pilot Oral Exam Guide by Michael D. Hayes has been updated throughout to reflect current regulations, procedures, FAA references and checkride practices. New information has been added for BasicMed, weather services including Graphical Forecast Analysis (GFA), ICAO flight plans, flight simulator (FFS), Flight Training Device (FTD), Advanced Training Device (ATD) and transponder requirements (such as ADS-B, TIS-B and FIS-B).

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’s important and why.

The Instrument Pilot Oral Exam Guide is the comprehensive guide to prepare you for the FAA checkride.
