Gleim releases new exam guide

By Ben Sclair · January 1, 2014 ·

The familiar red cover remains, but after listening to customer suggestions the new “Private PTS and Oral Exam Guide” from Gleim Publications is the result.

The books begins with the Practical Test Standards (PTS), which include darkened page edges for quick searching.

Following 38 pages of PTS material is a handy Aircraft Information Page. The single-page has space to fill in speeds, weight, performance and maintenance information applicable to the plane the student will be using for the checkride.

The Oral Exam Guide includes more than 900 questions and corresponding answers and is followed by a page of abbreviations and acronyms often used by pilots.

“Private PTS and Oral Exam Guide” is available for $15.95 from Gleim Publications or your favorite reseller.
