Book Description

Publication Date: March 2000 | ISBN-10: 1581940726 | ISBN-13: 978-1581940725 | Edition: 7th

The primary purpose of Instrument Pilot FAA Written Exam is to provide you with the easiest, fastest, and least expensive means of passing the FAA Instrument Rating - Airplane (IRA) knowledge test, which is required before you can take your instrument rating practical (flight) test.

Additionally, this book can be used in preparation for the following FAA knowledge tests: Flight Instructor - Instrument - Airplane (FII), which is required for a flight instructor to add an instrument rating to his/her flight instructor certificate. Instrument Ground Instructor (IGI), which is required for a person desiring to teach instrument procedures as a ground (classroom) instructor. Instrument Rating - Foreign Pilot (IFP), which is required for a pilot who holds an instrument rating on a U.S. private rating on a foreign pilot license and wants an instrument pilot certificate issued on the basis of the foreign pilot license. Flight Instructor - Instrument - Airplane - Added Rating (AIF), which is required if a flight instructor has an instrument (helicopter) rating on his/her flight instructor certificate and desires to add an instrument (airplane) rating to that certificate. We change the FAA knowledge (written) test process from a memorization marathon to a learning opportunity and experience. You get higher test scores in less study time. Seven of the major differences between our Instrument Pilot FAA Written Exam book and most other available books are Only airplane-related questions and study materials are included in our books. Comprehensive explanations of each question are provided, including explanations of why each answer is incorrect. Answer explanations are NEXT to each question, NOT at the back of the book. All FAA test questions are reorganized into logical topics. (FARs, weather, navigation, etc.) We provide outlines explaining the concepts tested at the beginning of each chapter so you can study and learn the material before you answer and study the test questions. A detailed index assists you in finding topics and questions you wish to study. We provide practice tests using the FAA's mix of question topics.

This review is from: Instrument Pilot FAA Written Exam (Paperback)

If you're an aviation student, the Gleim series is necessary for success on written exams. I went through the Gleim - reading the introductions to the sections and answering the questions and passed my instrument written exam with an 83. That is the lowest score that I've heard of anyone who has used the Gleim books. The book contains the actual questions given on the FAA written exam. With each question - the answer and explanation is given. It's impossible NOT to learn using this book.

This review is from: Instrument Pilot FAA Written Exam (Paperback)

If you want a book to prep you for a FAA test this is a good one. It won't make you an instrument pilot, but will certainly help those instrument rated pilots by refreshing their knowledge of flight procedures and some of the details associated with instrument flight.
