Preface

Welcome to ASA’s Test Prep Series. ASA’s test books have been helping pilots prepare for the FAA Knowledge Tests since 1984 with great success. We are confident that with proper use of this book, you will score very well on any of the flight instructor certificate tests.  Begin your studies with a classroom or home-study ground school course, which will involve reading a comprehensive textbook. Fundamentals of Instructing (FOI) applicants should thoroughly review the most current edition of theAviation Instructor’s Handbook(FAA-H-8083-9). Conclude your studies with this Test Prep or comparable software. Read the question, select your choice for the correct answer, then read the explanation. Use the Learning Statement Codes and references that conclude each explanation to identify additional resources if you need further study of a subject.  The FAA Flight Instructor questions have been arranged into chapters based on subject matter. Topical study, in which similar material is covered under a common subject heading, promotes better understanding, aids recall, and thus provides a more efficient study guide. Study and place emphasis on those questions most likely to be included in your test (identified by the aircraft above each question). For example: a candidate preparing for the Flight Instructor – Airplane test would focus on the questions marked “ALL” and “AIR,” and a candidate preparing for the Flight Instructor – Rotorcraft test would focus on the questions marked “ALL” and “RTC.” Those preparing for the add-on tests (people who hold a Flight Instructor certificate in one category and are transitioning to another) would focus on the questions marked with that category (AIR, RTC, GLI, LSA, WSC, or PPC). Ground Instructors are responsible for all aircraft categories, and therefore need to study all the questions in the database (other than Chapter 1, Fundamentals of Instructing — this is a separate test).  It is important to answer every question assigned on your FAA Knowledge Test. If in their ongoing review, the FAA authors decide a question has no correct answer, is no longer applicable, or is otherwise defective, your answer will be marked correct no matter which one you chose. However, you will not be given the automatic credit unless you have marked an answer. Unlike some other exams you may have taken, there is no penalty for “guessing” in this instance.  The FAA exams are “closed tests” which means the exact database of questions is not available to the public. The question and answer choices in this book provide the largest sampling of representative FAA questions available and they are derived from history and experience with the FAA testing process. You might see similar although not exactly the same questions on your official FAA exam. Answer stems may be rearranged from the A, B, C order you see in this book. Therefore, be careful to fully understand the intent of each question and corresponding answer while studying, rather than memorize the A, B, C answer. You may be asked a question that has unfamiliar wording; studying and understanding the information in this book and the associated references will give you the tools to answer all types of ques- tions with confidence.  If your study leads you to question an answer choice, we recommend you seek the assistance of a local instructor. We welcome your questions, recommendations or concerns: Aviation Supplies & Academics, Inc. 7005 132nd Place SE Voice: 425.235.1500 Fax: [phone] Newcastle, WA 98059-3153 Email: cfi@asa2fly.com Website: www.asa2fly.com  The FAA appreciates testing experience feedback.

Updates and Practice Tests

Free Test Updates for the OneYear Life Cycle of Test Prep Books The FAA rolls out new tests as needed throughout the year. The FAA Knowledge Exams are “closed tests” which means the exact database of questions is not available to the public. ASA combines years of experience with expertise in working with the tests to prepare the most comprehensive test prepara- tion materials available in the industry.  You can feel confident you will be prepared for your FAA Knowledge Exam by using the ASA Test Preps. ASA publishes test books each June and keeps abreast of changes to the tests. These changes are then posted on the ASA website as a Test Update.  Visit the ASA website before taking your test to be certain you have the most current information. While there, sign up for ASA’s free email Update service. We will then send you an email notification if there is a change to the test you are preparing for so you can review the Update for revised and/or new test information. www.asa2fly.com/testupdate

We invite your feedback. After you take your official FAA exam, let us know how you did. Were you pre- pared? Did the ASA products meet your needs and exceed your expectations? We want to continue to improve these products to ensure applicants are prepared, and become safe aviators. Send feedback to:cfi@asa2fly.com
