How do I study for an FAA pilot exam?

Get a CD or study guide of the test questions available from ASA or Gleim or many others. (Search for pilot shop at Yahoo). The paper back version is good to highlight the correct answers. This way you will associate only the correct response. The FAA words the answers very similarly so it is easy to make a mistake. Marking the correct answer in your study guide helps. I studied for all my written tests using this method.\n\nYou can also take a 'weekend ground school' for the written exam. Certain schools like American Flyers hold a weekend course that goes over the exam and they teach you how to take and pass it. They cram your head full for two days then you take the test at the end of the weekend. Students usually get very high scores.

Well it depends on what kind of pilot you want to be.  To get your private pilots license you need to get an FAA certificate as well as a medical certificate.\nThe FAA requires you to complete a ground course and pass their ground exam and then you must also get a minimum of 40 hours flight time with various check-flights.  It will cost roughly $7000 (depending on where you go, what deals you get, how long it takes you to complete all the check rides, etc) to get your license.\nThere's certifications after that as well...  Instrument ratings...  Instructor...   Commercial...  Etc.

The first, and (cheapest)is to attend either the USAF Academy or the US Naval Academy- but you aren't guaranteed a seat in flight school at either. Three's Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida, and many colleges have "Aviation Science" courses.-GOod Luck!

Go get a study guide with practice tests on cd rom. Take a practice test each day, then look up every answer you got wrong in the book that comes with the cd rom.\n\nThen get a good nights sleep before the test, eat a good breakfast, and remember that the first dozen questions on the computerized version of the test are critical, so do your best to get the first few correct.\n\nWhen you get to the test site be sure to take some time to practice with the computer so you get the hang of how to do the computerized part of the test.\n\nGood luck!

Remember that a good test will measure how much of the material you know and understand.  It will sample your knowledge.  If you get 80% on the exam, you probably know 80% of what you were supposed to study for that exam.  \n\nSuccessful test-taking depends on more than just studying the night before the exam.  As your class covers the material, read the day's lesson ahead of time.  When you finish reading a paragraph or other small section, ask yourself:\n* what were the major points of that section?\n* what are the meanings of any new words that you don't know?\n* how does what you have just read relate to what you read earlier?\nDuring class discussion, ask questions about things you don't know.  \n\nMaking outlines or notes of what you read helps a lot.  If you take notes in your class, put that material into your outline later. [If you use a computer with a word processor, GREAT!] I know this sounds like a lot of work.  It is at first but as you get used to doing it, it will go faster and easier -- just like learning to ride a bike.  \n\nWhen you finish a section, think of how YOU would explain or teach it to someone else.  \n\nIf working out problems is required (as in math or chemistry or physics) work out as many of them as you can, not just the minimum number required.  \n\nAny time you can draw a diagram that shows YOU how something works, do that in your notes.  Use your diagrams to show relationships among things.  Make time lines.  Cause and effect diagrams.  Decision trees.  Don't spend TOO MUCH time on these.  You don't get art credit.  \n\nIf you need to remember a group of things and order is important, write them out in a column and think of an acronyme to help you remember the order.  For example, ROY G. BIV gives the order of colors in the sun's spectrum: \nRed\nOrange\nYellow\nGreen\nBlue\nIndigo\nViolet.\n\nIf your acronyme can be funny or risque, you tend to remember those better.  \n\nIf you keep up with this as you go along, studying for the exam will be:\n* a quick rereading of the material\n* rereading your outline\n* a review of your class notes\n* redraw your diagrams\n* review the meanings of the new words from that material\n* rework the different kinds of problems you may have until you are sure you know how to do each kind of problem.\n\nFinally, get a good night sleep before the exam.  Eat something sweet or starchy before the exam (unless that makes you hyper and unable to do well on exams).  Your brain works a little better if it has more energy to draw on.  \n\nTo do well on a test requires:\n* Recency - you have gone over the material recently\n* Frequency - you have gone over the material several times\n* Practice - you have worked the problems and exercises\n\nCheers!

Next time you get a break, go over there and ask around. Most small civil airports have instructor pilots  that could answer your questions.

You want to fly planes in the AF or Navy....? \nYou have to be very smart and at least have a 4 yr college degree, no way around that. Even then it's VERY competitive to be a pilot. \nIn short, you can fly helicopters in the Army w/ an AA degree, but again you have to be very smart. Getting a GED leads me to belive the AA or even BA would be difficult for you. You're best might be a two year enlistment w/ one of the branches, use the GI Bill and get as much college out of the way. If you're good at college? Do the 4 yr degree and if not...do the AA. \nIf being a piolt is your goal, you need to be more motivated and focused then you have been your whole life, for the rest of your life. \nsee recruiters\ngood luck

1. Find a quiet place to study,\n2. Clear your study area of all distractions; and\n3. When studying, have all of the available study materials on hand to prepare for your exam.\nAll of them are brief rules to prepare for an exam, but that goes a long way to get you a passing score.

Piece of cake. As long as paid attention in class, have gone over the driver's ed. training book, and have prepared yourself, you should pass with flying colors.\nGood luck.

go to any flight school at your local airport or airfield.  also look for colleges that carry the degree because you stand a better chance of getting a job be3cause a degree carries more weight with aviation businesses

You can obtain a public record of all FAA Certified Pilots. Contact www.faa.gov you can get a register of all certified pilots and mechanics thru them and the freedom of information act. The file is VERY large but I have found several "old friends" there. Pilots are required to update their address info within 10 days of moving.

Here's what you do.  This is exactly what you have to do, so pay close attention:\n\n1) Figure out every possible thing that might be on the exam.  \n\n2) Figure out the exact way the questions are going to be asked.\n\n3) Figure out what the A students and grad students are focusing on.\n\nThen, of course, get the answers.  Make sure you can remember them.\n\nIf you don't know these things like they're second nature, you're not ready for an exam.  If you need help, get it.\n\nStressing out and cramming might help a little, but you're much better off using your head.

To become a pilot you have two routes... You can either go to the air force where they will train you or  you can go to school... get a your privates license... then eventually maybe become a commercial pilot... Although it will cost thousands of dollars to get trained and some years to get the proper hours necessary to get enough hours to fly commercial.  I think the requirement for eyesight is 20/20 corrected (with glasses).  You also have to pass a physical.  Certain schools offer good flight programs if you choose the college route.  Check out Western Michigan University

Things to consider with aircraft engines...As I am sure you already know, what is the time since overhaul? Do you have documents? It needs to be certified by the FAA as serviceable.

You can get your private pilot's license w/o any training and that would allow you to fly small single engine planes. Typically you need about 40 hrs of flight time (both solo and with an instructor) and then must take several exams in order to obtain it. I work at an airport and its $80.00 an hour for a lesson and then $55.00 an hour for solo time in the plane but the rates are going to vary on where you go. I don't know what you are looking to do as far as flying but my step-sister was going to school to become a commercial pilot down in Florida and the schooling for that was about $75,000.00...Unless you are interested in going into the military though, getting any sort of certification to fly is going to cost money but if its something that you want to pursue for career purposes, then any money invested into it will be worth it. Good luck:)
