An FAA Knowledge Exam is required to earn a Private Pilot certificate.

He augments the required aeronautical knowledge by giving specific tips and techniques, checklists and mnemonic devices, and sound advice from personal experience. A full-color example of a sectional chart is provided inside the back cover of the book for use with the many interactive exercises throughout the text. Each chapter concludes with sample questions taken directly from the FAA test, and a comprehensive glossary and index are included as well as useful aviation website links throughout the text. This practical application of the FAA Knowledge Exam is not available in any other book!
