The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published the Private Pilot - Airplane Airman Certification Standards (ACS) document to communicate the aeronautical knowledge, risk management, and flight proficiency standards for the private pilot certification in the airplane category, single-engine land and sea; and multiengine land and sea classes. This ACS incorporates and supersedes the previous Private Pilot Practical Test Standards for Airplane, FAA-S-8081-14. The FAA views the ACS as the foundation of its transition to a more integrated and systematic approach to airman certification. The ACS is part of the safety management system (SMS) framework that the FAA uses to mitigate risks associated with airman certification training and testing. Specifically, the ACS, associated guidance, and test question components of the airman certification system are constructed around the four functional components of an SMS: Safety Policy that defines and describes aeronautical knowledge, flight proficiency, and risk management as integrated components of the airman certification system; Safety Risk Management processes through which internal and external stakeholders identify and evaluate regulatory changes, safety recommendations and other factors that require modification of airman testing and training materials; Safety Assurance processes to ensure the prompt and appropriate incorporation of changes arising from new regulations and safety recommendations; and Safety Promotion in the form of ongoing engagement with both external stakeholders (e.g., the aviation training industry) and FAA policy divisions. The FAA has developed this ACS and its associated guidance in collaboration with a diverse group of aviation training experts. The goal is to drive a systematic approach to all components of the airman certification system, including knowledge test question development and conduct of the practical test. The FAA acknowledges and appreciates the many hours that these aviation experts have contributed toward this goal. This level of collaboration, a hallmark of a robust safety culture, strengthens and enhances aviation safety at every level of the airman certification system.

From Aviation Supplies & Academics, trusted publisher of Federal Aviation Administration resources. This book is also available bundled with the ASA Airline Transport Pilot Test Prep. This FAA-CT-8080-7D is the most current testing supplement, released by the FAA in June 2019. It supersedes the earlier FAA-CT-8080-7C, dated 1993. This Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement is designed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Flight Standards Service. It is intended for use by Airman Knowledge Testing (AKT) Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) Holders and other entities approved and/or authorized to administer airman knowledge tests on behalf of the FAA in the following knowledge areas: Airline Transport Pilot (FAR 121) Multiengine Airplane (ATM) Airline Transport Pilot (FAR 135) Single-Engine Airplane (ATS) Airline Transport Pilot (FAR 135) Added Rating--Airplane (ARA) Airline Transport Pilot (FAR 135) Helicopter (ATH) Airline Transport Pilot (FAR 135) Added Rating--Helicopter (ARH) Airline Transport Pilot Multiengine Airplane Canadian Conversion (ACM) Airline Transport Pilot Single-Engine Airplane Canadian Conversion (ASC) Airline Transport Pilot Helicopter Canadian Conversion (ACH) Aircraft Dispatcher (ADX) Flight Navigator (FNX)

Applicants studying for the Airline Transport Pilot and Aircraft Dispatcher Knowledge Exams will find sample questions for every question in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) exam database along with their answers and explanations, in this guide. All of the more than 900 questions from the exam are arranged by subject category and are accompanied by specific study material. Updates are provided to account for FAA test-question changes throughout the publication year via the ASA website or e-mail. Each question is followed by the answer, an explanation of the answer, and a reference and subject code for further study in FAA materials. Regulations, weather and weather services, flight physiology, and aircraft performance are among the subjects covered.
