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.

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.

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...
