FUNDAMENTAL OF INSTRUCTION (FOI) EXAM PREPARATION BOOK
You must take the Fundamentals of Instruction (FOI) exam to become an instructor. It is a test about how people learn. If you already possess a teaching certificate, you do not need to test for the FOI. A local FSDO (FAA Flight Standards District Office) will issue you credit for your teaching experience. For the rest of us the FOI exam is required. There are 50 Questions on the exam and you are allowed 1.5 hours to complete it. This Exam guide is for all instructors, Glider, Airplane, Rotorcraft and all others who need to take the FOI exam. Once you have an initial instructor rating, additional ratings may be added by taking the added exams. You only need to take the FOI test once. A signoff is not required.
Most pilots find the FOI test difficult and usually score less than they do on the aircraft tests. The concepts are unfamiliar and the questions seem more like a college SAT than anything practical. You are probably familiar with a few really good instructors and whether they know it or not, they are probably using many of the concepts provided here. By using this guide and taking the practice exams the FOI test can usually be studied for in one evening and you can be confident you will do well on the real exam if you understand the information and score well on the practice tests.Recently the FAA introduced 60 new questions. The majority of those taking the exam after these questions were introduced failed the exam. We have all questions covered in our FOI exam guide so be assured you will have the new complete question bank, with the FAA required answers.

GLIDER FLYING HANDBOOK -The first official book released by the FAA
for the sole purpose of glider and sailplane instruction and knowledge.
Originally designed as a technical manual for glider pilots and students, this
handbook also contains chapters of beneficial reference information for glider
and powered-flight pilots of all skill levels and experience. The Glider
Flying Handbook is filled with in-depth coverage throughout on decision
making, weather theory and services, aerodynamics, aircraft performance,
medical factors, communications, the certification process and regulations,
soaring maneuvers and techniques, and launch and recovery procedures. Through
superb, full-color graphics and detailed descriptions, many theories and
techniques are explained so that readers are better able to comprehend and
visualize the maneuvers and practices most commonly used. Based on thorough
research from within the glider flying community, this well-organized guide
also has excellent coverage of "soaring weather" meteorology and
thermal and fluid dynamics and more, making this an excellent glider and
soaring resource for all aviators. Includes a glossary of glider flying
terminology. Softcover, illustrated throughout in full color, indexed,
