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 ninth edition of the Flight Instructor Oral Exam Guide aligns with the Airman Certification Standards (ACS) and covers fundamentals of instructing, technical subject areas, preflight preparation and procedures, airport operations, flight fundamentals and maneuvers, emergency operations, postflight procedures, and scenario-based training. This essential resource prepares applicants for the FAA CFI Airplane checkride and is valuable as a general refresher.

Important note from the publisher:

While AI-generated content can be helpful to identify resources for ongoing study, it is not a reliable resource for learning critical, safety-dependent topics such as aviation. AI content is sterile, often lacks important context, and is at risk of errors. ASA publishes only human-generated content to ensure it is accurate, reliable, comprehensive, and presented in context--so you can become a safe and effective aviator.
