Flight Instructor Oral Exam Guide

Eighth Edition

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 expanded eighth edition of the Flight Instructor Oral Exam Guide includes “Fundamentals of Instructing” questions covering the subjects from the FAA’s Aviation Instructor’s Handbook (FAA-H-8083-9). Its content accounts for the latest FAA test standards, including new risk management considerations and chapters covering all Areas of Operation and Tasks. This book is the complete resource to prepare applicants for the FAA CFI Airplane checkride and is valuable as a general refresher.
