In just about every country with an aviation administration, you will have to pass both a
written test and a practical test as your final exams.
These tests will be fairly comprehensive, and will include:
• Pre-flight operations
• Taxiing and surface operations such as run-ups
• Takeoffs and landings
• General in flight maneuvers such as climbing and descents
• Flying at various speeds, including slow flight
• Stalling
• Emergency procedures and dealing with technical malfunctions
• Approaching a landing while dealing with (simulated) engine malfunctions
Basically, everything you’ve learned (or everything you should have been learning!) will be
put to the test, so bring your A game on the day of the final exams.
