What to Expect Taking the FAA Knowledge Test

Wed Apr 3 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Pilots must pass two standardized tests to obtain a Private Pilot certificate – a test of knowledge on a computer, and a test of flight skills in the aircraft.  In preparing for the flight skills test, students can refer to the Airman Certification Standards document which specifies in great detail the nature of the flight skills test and the expectations of performance for each maneuver.  However, preparing for the FAA Knowledge Test is more unstructured, as it tests knowledge from any of several FAA publications at various depths and understanding levels.  With so many reference sources to digest, what’s the best way to prepare for the FAA Knowledge Test?

In this presentation, San Carlos Flight Center invites in 3 student pilots who recently completed the FAA Knowledge Test for Private Pilots.  We’ll find out how they prepared for the exam, and how that impacted their success.  We will ask them what they were most surprised to find when taking the exam, and what guidance they can share with others preparing to take the test.

 If you’re a student pilot about to take the FAA Knowledge Test and have questions about what it will entail, we encourage you to join us for this moderated panel discussion about the process.
