Detailed and updated information on exactly what airline transport pilot candidates will need to explain and demonstrate during the oral and practical portions of their final flight test is provided in this book. The knowledge requirements -- such as pre-flight preparations and physiological conditions -- are thoroughly detailed. The skill requirements -- 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 -- that must be successfully completed during the checkride are also explained. Supplementary reference materials and areas of background study are included, helping test takers learn the required matter and obtain their pilot licenses.
