Student Pilot Flight Test Prep image

You're nearly finished training for your pilot certificate. The next training objective is the FAA's practical test — often called the flight test, even though it actually consists of two parts: an oral examination and the flight test itself. Before you arrive for your scheduled appointment with a designated pilot examiner, who will administer the test, the regulations require that you spend three hours of flight training in preparation for the test. In addition to that airborne review of your skills, you'll want to make sure your mind is sharp when it comes to all the information you have learned about flying. The resources here are a great place to start.
