Before we delve deeper into learning to fly, let us first talk about the private pilot checkride. This is sort of the final test that one has to pass and succeed in order to be issued a private pilot license.
The FAA mandates that every pilot is able to show his proficiency in the general aviation industry through the checkride. This exam involves two parts: a written exam, and the actual flight itself. The checkride is facilitated by an examiner that has been duly accredited by the FAA. This person is authorized to look into a pilot’s skills and has the final say in whether or not one is good and safe enough to be awarded a certificate to operate as a private pilot.
Hence, you can expect the private pilot checkride to grill you on any topic that you have touched through in your 40 hours of flight training with your certified flight instructor. The difficult part here is that the topic or procedure that you will be told to demonstrate to the examiner will be random; you will have no idea beforehand what you will be facing, making the preparation daunting and difficult. Every student pilot fears or is anxious about the private pilot checkride, and that is understandable.
While the test preparation may be difficult for every aspiring aviatior, it is not impossible! What you really need is a good resource, the help of which you can facilitate a good test preparation. There are plenty of resources in the Internet, most of which you can download for free or have to buy a price. Buying a reviewer would certainly be worth the price, since these books are meant to condition your mind to memorizing or recalling previous lessons that you may have stuffed into the back of your head.
With your resource at hand, all you have to do now is engage in a thorough private pilot test prep. Diligently study your lessons and you’ll be fine when you take your checkride. Take some breaks every now and then – to prevent your head from cramming – but always keep up with your review.
