| Well, I did it. I passed the Private Pilot Written Exam. I | | | | that will be asked, along with the answers. |
| got an 85%. 70% is passing, so I guess I did OK. Sad | | | | I chose the later. |
| thing is, there were 3 questions I saw during the review | | | | There are many sources that you can get these |
| that I actually knew, not sure why I missed them. | | | | questions, but believe me, it is no walk in the park. |
| What I want to help you do though, is get yourself | | | | There are hundreds of questions that could be asked, |
| prepared for what lies ahead. | | | | but you'll only get 60. Do you know which 60? Nope. |
| At this point, I have 36.6 hours of total flight time. All of | | | | That's where it gets tricky. |
| my requirements are met, as far as solo, | | | | You still need to read all the questions and know the |
| cross-country, night, dual, and instrument training. (I | | | | answers, but you don't have to read volumes of |

| doing that the next time I fly.) | | | | weather). |
| All of those hours help you learn maneuvers, learn | | | | Make no mistake about it, this knowledge is necessary |
| how the plane acts and reacts, and help you learn | | | | and you'll want to know all of it, but most of it will come |
| how to actually fly. On the written exam though, you're | | | | with experience, just like driving. You want to know |
| not going to do any flying. | | | | what you need to know to pass the test, then go out |
| Instead, you must demonstrate knowledge of weather, | | | | in the real world and learn hands on. |
| chart reading, flight planning, airport procedures, rules | | | | Get yourself a book with all the published questions |
| and regulations, and a variety of other topics. | | | | and study them diligently. Or, do what I did - go to and |
| You have two choices here. Either read a pile of | | | | buy the Private Pilot exam prep course. It teaches you |
