New Private Pilot Study Questions Download
Sep 11, 2018Hey Helicopter Online Ground School members. I have a new download for you. I'm at home on a Sunday afternoon, Operations Manager Brian Rutledge just sent me a Private Pilot Document. I just uploaded it in the Private Pilot section.
New Private Pilot Study Questions Download
This is a study guide with over two hundred questions. It's a great document to go through and test your own knowledge. If you're brand new to studying, I would probably wait until you have a good handle on the information to go through it.
If you go through it now, if you just started out, it's going to be overwhelming to you because there is a ton of questions in here. If you're getting closer to check ride. You've been studying. You've been going through Ground School doing your own thing. Doing training with your instructor, and you're feeling good about the knowledge. Now would be a good time to go through this list.
If you think you're ready to test your knowledge, start going through it. If you don't know the answer, look it up. Good pilot uses his or her resources. You've got to know where to find answers to questions. When I was going through that thing, I had to think about it, and I had to even look a few things up.
It's a study guide. It's to help test your knowledge. Don't let it overwhelm you if you're new. It's a great document to help you get ready for the check ride.
