The checkride feels like an event in the distant future. The next thing you know, the instructor says it’s time to schedule your checkride and asks, “You’ve been studying for the oral exam, right?” Don’t let your checkride preparation sneak up on you! The Airman Certification Standards (ACS) is the guide to the checkride.

A flight review doesn’t have to be completed in one day, and it’s not a pass/fail event like a checkride. Ask the pilot to review Part 91 and relevant portions of the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). It’s a great opportunity to customize your learning session! Do this before meeting at the airport.

This stands for Aeronautical Information Manual. Also, the FAR/AIM can be used during your oral, since the checkride is technically an ‘open book’ evaluation. For example, private pilot requirements are 61.103. Turning to this section, then lists each requirement for the private pilot license.
