Getting ready for your checkride but don't know where to start studying? I was the same way and I hope this gives you an idea what you should do to get ready for the oral exam portion of the private pilot ASEL checkride.

Since this video is nearing 1000 views. (thank you all by the way) If anyone has had their checkride and would like to talk about it in the comments you are free to do so. And also if there is anything else others should know going into it.

Where did you buy the textbooks you’re talking about?

@@baderzahrah You can find them on amazon easily. But the FAA has them for free online, if you're like me and prefer physical books, they're on amazon or other sources.

I agree I think. Its literally the Pilots Handbook but audio version. I would watch Josh from Free Pilot training and Cyndy Hollman. They actually go in depth with the topic. Also the ACS library will be a good choice too.

Thank you! Means a lot. Thats what this is for. I was hoping to do actual in flight content but the school doesnt really allow it. I watch this other guy who flies in my local area and some other airports allow it. I think ill make a guide on how to prepare for instrument when I finish it, wont be till later this year though.

Well youre doing the right thing not needing to pay an instructor for this people Dont realize they can save several thousands by studying at home before flying or doing an online course. But theres also completely free material online especially "free pilot training" on YT.

Thank you for your video! I did have a question about studying the ACS. I know they give you the codes and a brief summary of what it is. I was curious where you found this info from the codes is it on a FAA website ? Would you have an ACS study guide you’d be willing to share ? Thank you have a good day

@kevw172 8 ай бұрын

You can look up the ACS codes anywhere but honestly the ACS document itself is your study guide. Have it with you as a reference on what you need to know with your reference books. Honestly theres nothing in the ACS outside the Pilots handbook, airplane flying handbook the oral exam guide and FARs.

I am new to all this. I got confused about what books to use and what the difference is between the books or tests you mentioned in your other video. "I scored 95% on my private pilot written exam. Here is how I prepared/studied." Video ??? Thanks

@kevw172 14 күн бұрын

No different at all 😎I think in both I mention during training to keep reading. Any test prep (Gleim specifically for private) will greatly help improve your chance of getting a high score on the written. Because Its too difficult to retain every piece of information in all the textbooks the FAA provides for a written exam and gleim narrows it down to make it simpler to what you will see on the written. For example: The written exam will not talk about advanced aerodynamic forces or turbochargers, Weather products like NEXRAD, WAAS etc while the PHAK does. For the oral exam. This is why we have the ACS. the oral exam guide, airplane flying handbook, pilots handbook and the FARs have the answers to the ACS. You can even bring FAA material to your checkride like I did!

I was told I cant use foreflight on my Private Pilot check ride, is this not true?

@kevw172 5 ай бұрын

Some DPEs dont mind it. But if youre not part of a flight school where there are no set rules on whether you can use an EFB or not, do not use foreflight then. Im part of a program and the chief instructor made it clear to students foreflight can be used as a way to access charts and diagrams.
