Abstract:
Pilot license candidates studying for the Instrument Rating, Instrument Flight Instruction, and Foreign Pilot Knowledge Exams will find sample questions from the Federal Aviation Administration exam database along with answers and explanations for them, in this guide. The more than 900 questions from these exams are arranged by subject category, with each section prefaced by text introducing the subject matter and accompanied by specific study material. Each question is followed by the answer, an explanation of the answer, and a Learning Statement Code for further study in FAA materials. Updates are provided to account for FAA test-question changes throughout the publication year via the ASA website or e-mail. Meteorology, flight and navigational instruments, instrument flight rules and procedures, arrivals and approaches, and review computations are among the subjects covered.
