Instrument Oral Exam Guide: The Comprehensive Guide to Prepare You for the FAA Oral Exam

by Michael D. Hayes

For both student pilots learning the basics of the instrument rating and licensed pilots looking to brush up on their knowledge before flight reviews, this essential guide to the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) oral “checkride” provides answers to the exam’s most commonly asked questions and also indicates exactly where the material can be found in FAA literature. Newly revised to reflect important FAA regulatory, procedural, and training changes, the study guide is divided into four question-and-answer sections which examine flight planning, departure, en route, and arrival issues. Subtopics covered include preflight action for aircraft, gyroscopic system, fundamentals of weather, and precision approaches.

Fascinating reading, with twisted plot and unforgetable characters. You feel you heart racing when you contemplate loss of vacuum and electrical systems in IMC conditions. Recommended, but not for the faint of heart.

Not exactly sure how to review a book like this.

When I first read it, I didn't know the answers to the questions. But then I kept reading it until I did know the answers to the questions. I suppose it filled it's ultimate destiny in that manner.

Solid book that handles a lot more about instrument flight than you realistically will get asked about in the oral exam. Read the book if you're serious about instrument training.
