Synopsis

The primary purpose of Fundamentals of Instructing FAA Written Exam is to provide you with the easiest, fastest, and least expensive means of passing the Fundamentals of Instructing (FOI) knowledge test, which is required before you can obtain your flight and/or ground instructor certificate. You are not required to take the FOI knowledge test if you hold an FAA flight or ground instructor certificate, a current teacher's certificate authorizing you to teach at an educational level of the 7th grade or higher, or are currently employed as a teacher at an accredited college or university. Appendix B of this book is a reprint of "Section Two -- The Flight Instructor" from the FAA's Aviation Instructor's Handbook (FAA-H-8083-9). It is useful for reading and as a periodic review for instructors. It consists of three chapters Instructor Responsibilities and Professionalism Techniques of Flight Instruction Planning Instructional Activity

Appendix C of this book consists of suggestions on how to find or become a sponsor for a "ground school." It also contains suggestions on course organizations, lecture outlines, and class presentations. We change the FAA knowledge (written) test process from a memorization marathon to a learning opportunity and experience. You get higher test scores in less study time. Seven of the major differences between our Fundamentals of Instructing FAA Written Exam book and most other available books are Only airplane-related questions and study materials are included in our books. Comprehensive explanations of each question are provided, including explanations of why each answer is correct or incorrect. Answer explanations are NEXT to each question, NOT at the back of the book. All FAA test questions are reorganized into logical topics (barriers to learning, teaching methods, etc.). We provide outlines explaining the concepts tested at the beginning of each chapter so you can study and learn the material before you answer and study the test questions. A detailed index assists you in finding topics and questions you wish to study. We provide practice tests using the FAA's mix of question topics.

example Gleim question: How long is a cockpit voice recorder and flight recorder data kept, in the event of an accident or occurrence resulting in terminating the flight?

A- 60 days B- 90 days C- 30 days

Answer (A) is correct. In the event of an accident or occurrence that results in the termination of the flight, any operator who has installed approved flight recorders and cockpit voice recorders shall keep the recorded information for at least 60 days or, if requested by the FAA or the NTSB, for a longer period. Answer (B) is incorrect because the information need be kept for only 60 days, not 90 days. Answer (C) is incorrect because the information must be kept for a minimum of 60 days, not 30 days.
