The private pilot Practical Test (i.e. the "checkride") is broken up into oral and flight portions. The material that is covered in both is dictated by the PTS (Practical Test Standards). Although oral questioning may continue into the flight portion of the test, the examiner is required to complete the major portion of the oral before proceeding on to the flight exam. Download this ebook and study it to prepare for your oral examination. Everything in it is "must know" information. Good luck and good flying!
