Product Description

Would you like to know what the FAA Designated Pilot Examiner is thinking when you are performing the required maneuvers for your flight test? Have you wondered what the common errors are for each maneuver and how to avoid making them? If you would like information and insights into the best way to truly prepare for the flight portion of your Private Pilot exam, this is the guide for you.

In this e-book, you will learn the typical scenarios that are used during the flight portion of the test so you are able to demonstrate that you are capable of applying what you know to these “real-world” situations. I have described many of the Tasks that are included in the Airman Certification Standards, what you must know and what skills you must demonstrate in order to pass your checkride. Along the way, we will explore some “best practices” to help you excel, not just pass.

One of the most important aspects of the “Insider’s Guide” is the discussion of common mistakes that applicants make. By recognizing these, you can easily avoid them and dramatically improve your performance.

As an experienced FAA Designated Pilot Examiner, I’ve given over 1000 tests. I have seen applicants who were amazingly well prepared and watched them sail through their exam with no difficulty. But, often, I’ve watched many others who clearly knew much of the required information simply self-destruct under the pressure of the evaluation. This guide is my way of helping you achieve your aviation dream of becoming a Private Pilot.
