Flying Instructors & Examiners A place for instructors to communicate with one another because some of them get a bit tired of the attitude that instructing is the lowest form of aviation, as seems to prevail on some of the other forums!

Ah thanks. Turns out I already had the PHAK which I put in my first link (I just didn't recognise the acronym).

Cheers for the AFH too.

This, of course, is where it all originates. The standard of the publications - upon which the questions seem to be based - really need to be looked at.

I agree on that. I have started reading PoF in the Nordian JAR ATPL books, now, and it's like... physics reinvented.

(But hey! I can still keep the blue side up even in the US!)

FAA Feedback

The (eventual) response from the FAA is fairly positive.

Thank you for your comments regarding the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge. The funding for a revision of the handbook was just approved and we plan on beginning the revision this fall. I have forwarded your comments on the CFI test to the responsible inspector. Should your studies reveal any additional inaccuracies please let us know.

Regards,

Mark J. Aldridge
Aviation Safety Inspector, Operations
AFS-630, Airman Testing Standards Branch Federal Aviation Administration P. O. Box 25082 Oklahoma City, OK 73125
Phone: 405-954-3654
Fax: 405-954-4748
[email protected]


So now you know who to contact with any other inaccuracies in the "PHAK".

Of course, he hasn't mentioned who the responsible inspector for the CFI question bank is...
