NEW BOOK RELEASE – Complete Guide to Sport Pilot and CFI Checkride
Announcing the release of the fifth edition, “COMPLETE GUIDE TO SPORT PILOT AND CFI CHECKRIDE” book.
Previously titled, “SPORT PILOT & CFI CHECKRIDE”, the book has been completely revised, updated, and includes the latest MOSAIC rules.
Paul has created the clearest, easiest-to-understand explanation for everyone. From an introduction section explaining all aspects: Pilot, Aircraft, and maintenance, to specific individual questions for all.
Also included are the most commonly asked questions from Sport Pilot applicants, as well as CFIs who trained the students for a checkride:
• What are the most common mistakes applicants make to fail a checkride? and:
• What do I need to know to pass a checkride?
Another excellent feature of the fifth edition is the Scenario-Based Questions, which the FAA is incorporating into training and checkrides to move beyond stick-and-rudder rote flying skills and apply real-world problems for the pilot to analyze.
Paul uses a unique approach: presenting a scenario-based question, then offering different responses and notes on each, explaining what the DPE would be thinking about the answer. This helps students know how to answer scenario-based questions grounded in their actual experience, and assesses the CFI/DPE’s ability to formulate such questions.
Scenario-based questions are not yes/no or right/wrong; they are meant to help develop a plan while flying using Aeronautical Decision Making.
Additionally, each checkride task has the “Errors to Avoid” spelled out.
After 10 years as a certified flight instructor (CFI) and flight school owner providing sport pilot and CFI in-person training, online pilot courses, and a designated pilot examiner (DPE) providing checkrides, Author Paul Hamilton has written this breakthrough book, helping:
• Student pilots prepare for the checkride
• CFIs teaching the student
• CFI applicants
• CFIs teach the CFI to be a certified flight instructor
• DPEs recommending applicants on what to study to pass the Sport Pilot Checkride or CFI-S Sport Pilot Checkride
