Updated to reflect the latest regulations and procedures, including the
proposed new regulations dealing with crew fatigue (Part 117).
Written to help prepare applicants for their oral exams with FAA examiners.
Using a question-and-answer format, each Oral Exam Guide lists the questions
most likely to be asked by examiners and provides succinct, ready responses. An
excellent study tool for pilots gearing up for their checkride, airman check, or
interview. Flight instructors find these an indispensable part of the test
preparation process, teaching ATP candidates how to exhibit subject mastery and
confidence when under the examiner's scrutiny.
All the subjects an ATP candidate will be tested on during checkrides, career
interviews, and aircraft transition rides are covered. Chapters are dedicated to
turbine aircraft theory, performance and limitations, airline operational
procedures, aeronautical decision making (ADM) and crew resource management
(CRM), regulations, and instrument procedures.
This guide concludes with 2 appendices that contain questions and answers
candidates can expect on an airline-type ride, concerning aircraft systems and
limitations. All the information in these appendices is specific to the
Beechcraft 1900C aircraft, so pilots can learn the basic components and
principles for the type of turboprop aircraft found in many of today's regional
airline fleets. This section may also be used as a workbook, with space provided
so readers can reference their airplane operating manual to fill in the blanks
to the same questions asked about the BE1900C.
Answers and explanations were researched using FAA documents (and are
identified so readers know where to go for further study on any given question)
as well as through interviews with a variety of airline pilots, 121/135
operators, and examiners. The ATP Oral Exam Guide teaches applicants not only
what to expect, but also how to exhibit subject mastery and confidence when
theyï¾’re under the examiner's scrutiny. It identifies the candidates' strengths,
weaknesses, and gaps in their aeronautical knowledge, which increases study
efficiency.
