Commercial Pilot and Flight Instructor for Helicopter Practical Test Standards: FAA-S-8081-16A/FAA-S-8081-7B (Practical Test Standards series)

Detailed and up-to-date information on exactly what must be explained and demonstrated during the oral and practical portions of final flight tests is provided in this book. The knowledge requirements, such as preflight preparations and physiological conditions, which prospective pilots can expect to discuss with their flight examiner, are thoroughly detailed as are the skill requirements that must be successfully completed during the checkride—including what kind of takeoff and landing must be demonstrated, how steep a turn should be executed, and what areas will be tested on a continuous basis. Supplementary reference materials and areas of background study, which help test takers learn the required matter and obtain their pilot licenses, are also described.
