Practical Guide to the Private Pilot Checkride

"Earning a Private Pilot certificate is challenging and involves an immense amount of training, studying, preparation, and dedication. The Private Pilot applicant will be tested using the appropriate FAA Practical Test Standards (PTS). These standards cover the expectations and tolerances that must be met to earn the Private Pilot Certificate. So as you begin to prepare for your practical test, where do you start? How do you organize and prioritize all your ground school information? Designed as a study guide, this book answers these questions and more -- it clarifies in "plain language" exactly what student pilots must know and demonstrate during the oral portion of the FAA Practical Exam, eliminating any surprise about examiner expectations. Incorporated with the specific task elements from the Practical Test Standards, the concise information fills the gap between ground school textbook learning and practical application, resulting in better-prepared applicants. Even the most dedicated private pilot applicant can become overwhelmed with the sheer volume of information and knowledge that must be mastered. This book will help you prioritize this information, consolidating thousands of pages of guidance materials into language you can understand, remember, and quickly reference. Also, it includes the Private Pilot Practical Test Standards (Airplane, Single-Engine) as an appendix, and space is provided for you to take notes--this book is the ultimate study guide for the checkride.
