Preface

Welcome to ASA’s Test Prep Series. ASA’s test books have been helping pilots prepare for the FAA Knowledge Tests since 1984 with great success. We are confident that with proper use of this book, you will score very well on any of the Airline Transport Pilot tests.  Begin your studies with a classroom or homestudy ground school course, which will involve reading a comprehensive textbook (see the FAA Knowledge Exam References list on page x). Conclude your studies with this Test Prep or comparable software. Read the question, select your choice for the correct answer, then read the explanation. Use the Learning Statement Codes and references that conclude each explanation to identify additional resources if you need further study of a subject.  The FAA Airline Transport Pilot questions have been arranged into chapters based on subject matter. Topical study, in which similar material is covered under a common subject heading, promotes better understanding, aids recall, and thus provides a more efficient study guide. Study and place emphasis on those questions most likely to be included in your test (identified by the aircraft and test category above each question). For example: a pilot preparing for the ATP Part 121 test would focus on the questions marked “ALL” and “121”; a pilot preparing for the ATP Part 135 test would focus on the questions marked “ALL” and “135”; a pilot preparing for the ATP Part 135 Rotorcraft test would focus on the questions marked “ALL” and “RTC”; and candidates for the Dispatcher certificate would focus on the questions marked “ALL” and “DSP.”  It is important to answer every question assigned on your FAA Knowledge Test. If in their ongoing review, the FAA authors decide a question has no correct answer, is no longer applicable, or is otherwise defective, your answer will be marked correct no matter which one you chose. However, you will not be given the automatic credit unless you have marked an answer. Unlike some other exams you may have taken, there is no penalty for “guessing” in this instance.  The FAA exams are “closed tests” which means the exact database of questions is not available to the public. The question and answer choices in this book are based on our extensive history and expe rience with the FAA testing process. You might see similar although not exactly the same questions on your official FAA exam. Answer stems may be rearranged from the A, B, C order you see in this book. Therefore, be careful to fully understand the intent of each question and corresponding answer while studying, rather than memorize the A, B, C answer. You may be asked a question that has unfamiliar wording; studying and understanding the information in this book and the associated references will give you the tools to answer all types of questions with confidence.  If your study leads you to question an answer choice, we recommend you seek the assistance of a local instructor.

Updates and Practice Tests

Free Test Updates for the OneYear Life Cycle of Test Prep Books The FAA rolls out new tests as needed throughout the year. The FAA Knowledge Exams are “closed tests” which means the exact database of questions is not available to the public. ASA combines years of experience with expertise in working with the tests to prepare the most comprehensive test prepara tion materials available in the industry.  You can feel confident you will be prepared for your FAA Knowledge Exam by using the ASA Test Preps. ASA publishes test books each June and keeps abreast of changes to the tests. These changes are then posted on the ASA website as a Test Update.  Visit the ASA website before taking your test to be certain you have the most current information. While there, sign up for ASA’s free email Update service. We will then send you an email notification if there is a change to the test you are preparing for so you can review the Update for revised and/or new test information. www.asa2fly.com/testupdate

We invite your feedback. After you take your official FAA exam, let us know how you did. Were you pre pared? Did the ASA products meet your needs and exceed your expectations? We want to continue to improve these products to ensure applicants are prepared, and become safe aviators. Send feedback to:cfi@asa2fly.com

Description of the Tests

All test questions are the objective, multiplechoice type, with three answer choices. Each question can be answered by the selection of a single response. The answer to some questions depend on the response to a previous question to calculate the correct answer.  The FAA Knowledge Exams are designed to test your knowledge in many subject areas. If you are pursuing an airline transport pilot certificate or added rating, you should review the appropriate sections of 14 CFR Part 61 for the specific knowledge areas on each test. Those taking the ATP or “ATP—Airline Pilot (Part 121)” exam will be tested on Part 121 as one of the knowledge areas. Those taking the ATA or “ATP—Airline Pilot (Part 135)” exam will be tested on Part 135 as one of the knowledge areas. None of the other knowledge areas are specified as being for Part 121 or Part 135, so their associated ques tions may be used on any of the tests.  An applicant for an aircraft dispatcher certificate should review the appropriate sections of 14 CFR Part 65 for the specific knowledge areas on the test. The applicant will be tested on Part 121 as one of the knowledge areas. If Part 135 commuter operators (as defined in DOT Part 298) are required to have aircraft dispatchers in the future, Part 135 questions will be added to the test. The aircraft dispatcher applicant is not required to have the flying skills of an airline transport pilot but is expected to have the same knowledge.

 For the most efficient and effective study program, begin by reading the book cover to cover. Study allthe questions first,thenrefer to the following table, placing emphasis on those questions most likely to be included on your test (identified by the aircraft category above each question number).

* Expert Study Tip  If it’s been more than 24 months since you took the initial ATP FAA Knowledge Exam, we recommend that you prepare for the AddOn test using the “ATP, Rotorcraft, Part 135” test. This will better prepare you for the nonrotorcraft (or “ALL”) questions that may be included on your addon test. **This test focuses on U.S. regulations, procedures and operations, not airplane knowhow.

A score of 70 percent must be attained to successfully pass each test. Note:All applicants transitioning from ATP airplane and/or helicopter need to take the additional knowledge test. For example, an applicant adding a helicopter rating to an existing ATP – Airplane certificatewillneed to take the 50question addon test.

Airline Transport Pilot Test PrepASA vii

Knowledge Test Eligibility Requirements If you are pursuing an airline transport or aircraft dispatcher certificate, you should review Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 61, §61.23 “Medical Certificates: Requirement and Dura tion,” 14 CFR §61.35 “Knowledge Test: Prerequisites and Passing Grades,” and 14 CFR Part 61 (ATP) or Part 65 (ADX) for certificate requirements.

Process for Taking a Knowledge Test The FAA has designated two holders of airman knowledge testing (AKT) organization designation authorization (ODA). These two AKTODAs sponsor hundreds of knowledge testing center locations. The testing centers offer a full range of airman knowledge tests including: Aircraft Dispatcher, Airline Transport Pilot, Aviation Maintenance Technician, Commercial Pilot, Flight Engineer, Flight Instructor, Flight Navigator, Ground Instructor, Inspection Authorization, Instrument Rating, Parachute Rigger, Pri vate Pilot, Recreational Pilot, Sport Pilot, and Military Competence. Contact information for the AKTODA holders is provided at the end of this section.  The first step in taking a knowledge test is the registration process. You may either call the testing centers’ 1800 numbers or simply take the test on a walkin basis. If you choose to use the 1800 number to register, you will need to select a testing center, schedule a test date, and make financial arrange ments for test payment. You may register for tests several weeks in advance, and you may cancel your appointment according to the AKTODA holder’s cancellation policy. If you do not follow the AKTODA holder’s cancellation policies, you could be subject to a cancellation fee.  The next step in taking a knowledge test is providing proper identification. Although no prior authoriza tion is necessary, except in the case of failure (see “Acceptable Forms of Authorization” below), proper identification is required to take any airline transport pilot, aircraft dispatcher, or flight navigator knowledge test. Testing center personnel will not begin the test until your identification is verified. For U.S. citizens, an acceptable form of photo I.D. includes, but is not limited to: driver’s license, governmentissued I.D. card, passport, alien residency card, and/or military I.D. card. For nonU.S. citizens, a passport is required, along with one or more of the following forms of photo I.D.: driver’s license, governmentissued I.D. card, and/or military I.D. card.  Proper identification contains your photograph, signature, date of birth (must show that you will meet the age requirement for the certificate sought before the expiration date of the Airman Test Report), and actual residential address, if different from your mailing address.

Acceptable Forms of Authorization  1. Requiresnoinstructor endorsements or other form of written authorization.  2. Failed, passing or expired Airman Knowledge Test Report, provided the applicant still has theoriginal test report in his/her possession. (SeeRetesting explanation.)
