5.0 out of 5 stars
Very good study guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: Private Oral Exam Guide : The Comprehensive Guide to Prepare You for the FAA Oral Exam (Paperback)
I used this book to help me study for the oral exam for my private pilot. It helps explain things that the FAR/AIM is not too clear about. It also does a good job at asking questions in the way the examiner would ask them. I recommend it to anyone getting ready to take their oral exam.

This review is from: Private Oral Exam Guide: The Comprehensive Guide to Prepare You for the FAA Oral Exam (Oral Exam Guide series) (Paperback)
Many private oral preparation books only allow rote memorization of the answers. This book gives reference to every answer in the FAR/AIM so you can study and understand the answer. A must for true aviation enthusiast.
