Multi-Engine Oral Exam Guide ─ The Comprehensive Guide to Prepare You for the FAA Checkride

Updated to reflect vital FAA regulatory, procedural, and training requirements changes, this manual for the oral exams and checkrides given by the FAA for pilot certification and flight review provides the most consistent questions asked of an applicant in the multiengine competency check. Immediately following each question is a reference to the specific information source from where the answer may be derived. Covering topics such as multiengine operations, flight principles, aircraft systems, and multiengine maneuvers, this popular reference has been updated to include important FAA changes—especially the newest Practical Test Standards. An appendix with a “Practical Test Checklist,” as well as a detailed section for entering an aircraft's maneuver limitations, is included. The main body of questions is written in a Q & A format—with the questions the FAA checkride examiners are most likely to ask along with comprehensive, easy-to-remember responses. This indispensable guidebook teaches applicants not only what to expect on the multiengine oral exam, but also how to exhibit subject mastery and confidence while under the examiner’s scrutiny.
