INTRODUCTION

What is required to become a skilled and effective airline

transport pilot, aircraft dispatcher, or flight navigator?

Although some individuals possess more knowledge and

skills than others, no one is a natural-born pilot.

Competent airline transport pilots, aircraft dispatchers,

and flight navigators become so through study, training,

and experience.

This knowledge test guide will answer most of your

questions about airline transport pilot, aircraft

dispatcher, and flight navigator knowledge tests by

covering the following areas: knowledge test eligibility

requirements; knowledge areas on the tests; descriptions

of the tests; process for taking a knowledge test; use of

test aids and materials; cheating or other unauthorized

conduct; validity of Airman Test Reports; and retesting

procedures.

This guide will help in preparing you to take one or all

of the following knowledge tests.

QAirline Transport Pilot—Airplane (part 121/ATP)

QAirline Transport Pilot—Airplane (part 135/ATA)

QAirline Transport Pilot—Airplane–Added Rating

(part 135/ARA)

QAirline Transport Pilot—Helicopter (part 135/

ATH)

QAirline Transport Pilot—Helicopter–Added Rating

(part 135/ARH)

QAirline Transport Pilot—Powered-Lift (part 135/

QAircraft Dispatcher (part 65/ADX)

QFlight Navigator (part 63/FNX)

This guide is not offered as an easy way to obtain the

necessary information for passing the knowledge tests.

Rather, the intent of this guide is to define and narrow

the field of study to the required knowledge areas

included in the tests.

KNOWLEDGE TEST ELIGIBILITY

REQUIREMENTS

The general qualifications for an airline transport pilot,

aircraft dispatcher, or flight navigator certificate require

that you have a combination of experience, knowledge,

and skill.

Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)

part 61 requires that pilots must be able to read, write,

speak, and understand the English language. If you

cannot meet these requirements of English fluency, an

airman certificate cannot be issued. For medical reasons,

an appropriate limitation may be placed on the

certificate.

14 CFR part 63 does not require that a limitation be

placed on the certificate if a flight navigator cannot

read, write, speak, or understand the English language.

14 CFR part 65 requires that an aircraft dispatcher

must be able to read, speak, and understand the English

language. If unable to do so, an appropriate limitation

may be placed on the certificate.

If you are pursuing an airline transport pilot certificate

or added rating, you should carefully review the

appropriate sections of 14 CFR part 61 for detailed

information pertaining to this subject.

If you are pursuing a flight navigator certificate, you

should carefully review the appropriate sections of 14

CFR part 63 for detailed information pertaining to this

subject.

If you are pursuing an aircraft dispatcher certificate,

you should carefully review the appropriate sections of

14 CFR part 65 for detailed information pertaining to

this subject.

KNOWLEDGE TEST GUIDE

KNOWLEDGE AREAS ON THE TESTS

The knowledge tests 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 airline transport pilot (14 CFR part

121) airplane (ATP) test, will be tested on part 121 as

one of the knowledge areas.

Those taking the airline transport pilot (14 CFR part

135) airplane (ATA) or powered-lift (ATL) test, will be

tested on part 135 as one of the knowledge areas.

All other knowledge areas are not specified as being

for part 121 or part 135, and the questions may be used

on any of the tests.

If you are pursuing a flight navigator certificate, you

should review the appropriate sections of 14 CFR part

63 for the specific knowledge areas on the test.

If you are pursuing an aircraft dispatcher certificate,

you should review the appropriate sections of 14 CFR

part 65 for the specific knowledge areas on the test.

You 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.

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE TESTS

All test questions are the objective, multiple-choice type.

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 minimum passing score for each

test is 70 percent.

The maximum time allowed for taking each test is either

2.5 or 3 hours, and is based on previous experience

and educational statistics. This amount of time is

considered more than adequate if you have had proper

preparation and instruction.

The following tests each contain 80 questions, and you

are allowed 3 hours to complete each test.

QAirline Transport Pilot—Airplane (part 121/ATP)

QAirline Transport Pilot—Airplane (part 135/ATA)

QAirline Transport Pilot—Helicopter

(part 135/ATH)

QAirline Transport Pilot—Powered-Lift

(part 135/ATL)

QFlight Navigator (part 63/FNX)

QAircraft Dispatcher (part 121/ADX)

The following tests each contain 50 questions, and you

are allowed 2.5 hours to complete each test.

QAirline Transport Pilot—Airplane–Added Rating

(part 135/ARA)

QAirline Transport Pilot—Helicopter–Added Rating

(part 135/ARH)

Communication between individuals through the use

of words is a complicated process. In addition to being

an exercise in the application and use of aeronautical

knowledge, a test is also an exercise in communication

since it involves the use of the written language. Since

the tests involve written rather than spoken words,

communication between the test writer and the person

being tested may become a difficult matter if care is

not exercised by both parties. Consequently,

considerable effort is expended to write each question

in a clear, precise manner. You should carefully read

the information and instructions given with the tests,

as well as the statements in each test item.

When taking a test, keep the following points in mind:

•Answer each question in accordance with the latest

regulations and guidance publications.

•Read each question carefully before looking at the

possible answers. You should clearly understand the

problem before attempting to solve it.

•After formulating an answer, determine which

choice corresponds with that answer. The answer chosen

should completely resolve the problem.

•From the answers given, it may appear that there

is more than one possible answer; however, there is

only one answer that is correct and complete. The other

answers are either incomplete or are derived from

popular misconceptions.

•If a certain question is difficult for you, it is best to

mark it for review and proceed to the next question.

After you answer the less difficult questions, return to

those which you marked for review and answer them.

The review marking procedure will be explained to you

prior to starting the test. Although the computer should

alert you to unanswered questions, make sure every

question has an answer recorded. This procedure will

enable you to use the available time to the maximum

advantage.

•When solving a calculation problem, select the

answer closest to your solution. The problem has been

checked with various types of calculators; therefore, if

you have solved it correctly, your answer will be closer

to the correct answer than any of the other choices.

PROCESS FOR TAKING A KNOWLEDGE

TEST

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has

available hundreds of computer testing centers

worldwide. These testing centers offer the full range of

airman knowledge tests, except for the flight navigator.

The flight navigator knowledge test is given by the Flight

Standards District Offices (FSDO). Refer to appendix

1 of this guide for a list of computer testing designees

(CTD’s).

The first step in taking a knowledge test is the

registration process. You may either call the central

1-800 numbers (refer to appendix 1 for 1-800 numbers)

or simply use the 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

arrangements for test payment. You may register for

tests several weeks in advance, and you may cancel

your appointment according to the CTD’s cancellation

policy. If you do not follow the CTD’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 authorization

is necessary, except in the case of failure, to take any

airline transport pilot, aircraft dispatcher, or flight

navigator knowledge test, proper identification is

required. Testing center personnel will not begin the

test until your identification is verified.

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.

Before you take the actual test, you will have the option

to take a sample test. The actual test is time limited;

however, you should have sufficient time to complete

and review your test.

Upon completion of the knowledge test, you will receive

your Airman Test Report, with the testing center’s

embossed seal, which reflects your score.

The Airman Test Report lists the subject matter

knowledge codes for questions answered incorrectly.

The total number of subject matter knowledge codes

shown on the Airman Test Report is not necessarily an

indication of the total number of questions answered

incorrectly. Appendix 1 contains a list of subject matter

knowledge codes that refer to the knowledge areas.

Study these knowledge areas to improve your

understanding of the subject matter.

Your instructor is required to provide instruction on

each of these knowledge areas listed on your Airman

Test Report and to complete an endorsement of this

instruction. The Airman Test Report must be presented

to the examiner prior to taking the practical test. During

the oral portion of the practical test, the examiner is

required to evaluate the noted areas of deficiency.

Should you require a duplicate Airman Test Report due

to loss or destruction of the original, send a signed

request accompanied by a check or money order for $1

payable to the FAA. Your request should be sent to the

Federal Aviation Administration, Airmen Certification

Branch, AFS-760, P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City,

OK 73125.

USE OF TEST AIDS AND MATERIALS

Airman knowledge tests require applicants to analyze

the relationship between variables needed to solve

aviation problems, in addition to testing for accuracy

of a mathematical calculation. The intent is that all

applicants are tested on concepts rather than rote

calculation ability. It is permissible to use certain

calculating devices when taking airman knowledge tests,

provided they are used within the following guidelines.

The term “calculating devices” is interchangeable with

such items as calculators, computers, or any similar

devices designed for aviation-related activities.

1. Guidelines for use of test aids and materials.

The applicant may use test aids and materials within

the guidelines listed below, if actual test questions or

answers are not revealed.

a. Applicants may use test aids, such as

scales, straightedges, protractors, plotters, navigation

computers, log sheets, and all models of aviation-

oriented calculating devices that are directly related to

the test. In addition, applicants may use any test

materials provided with the test.

b. Manufacturer’s permanently inscribed

instructions on the front and back of such aids listed in

1(a), e.g., formulas, conversions, regulations, signals,

weather data, holding pattern diagrams, frequencies,

weight and balance formulas, and air traffic control

procedures are permissible.

c. The test proctor may provide calculating

devices to applicants and deny them use of their personal

calculating devices if the applicant’s device does not

have a screen that indicates all memory has been erased.

The test proctor must be able to determine the

calculating device’s erasure capability. The use of

calculating devices incorporating permanent or

continuous type memory circuits without erasure

capability are prohibited.

d. The use of magnetic cards, magnetic tapes,

modules, computer chips, or any other device upon

which prewritten programs or information related to

the test can be stored and retrieved are prohibited.

Printouts of data will be surrendered at the completion

of the test if the calculating device used incorporates

this design feature.

e. The use of any booklet or manual

containing instructions related to the use of the

applicant’s calculating device is not permitted.

f. Dictionaries are not allowed in the testing

area.

g. The test proctor makes the final

determination relating to test materials and personal

possessions that the applicant may take into the testing

area.

2. Guidelines for dyslexic applicant’s use of test

aids and materials. A dyslexic applicant may request

approval from the local Flight Standards District Office

(FSDO) to take an airman knowledge test using one of

the three options listed in preferential order:

a. Option One. Use current testing facilities

and procedures whenever possible.

b. Option Two. Applicants may use Franklin

Speaking Wordmaster to facilitate the testing process.

The Wordmaster is a self-contained electronic

thesaurus that audibly pronounces typed in words and

presents them on a display screen. It has a built-in

headphone jack for private listening. The headphone

feature will be used during testing to avoid disturbing

others.

c. Option Three. Applicants who do not

choose to use the first or second option may request a

test proctor to assist in reading specific words or terms

from the test questions and supplement material. In the

interest of preventing compromise of the testing process,

the test proctor should be someone who is non-aviation

oriented. The test proctor will provide reading assistance

only, with no explanation of words or terms. The Airman

Testing Standards Branch, AFS-630, will assist in the

selection of a test site and test proctor.

CHEATING OR OTHER UNAUTHORIZED

CONDUCT

Computer testing centers must follow strict security

procedures to avoid test compromise. These procedures

are established by the FAA and are covered in FAA

Order 8080.6, Conduct of Airman Knowledge Tests.

The FAA has directed testing centers to terminate a

test at any time a test proctor suspects a cheating

incident has occurred. An FAA investigation will then

be conducted. If the investigation determines that

cheating or unauthorized conduct has occurred, then

any airman certificate or rating that you hold may be

revoked, and you will be prohibited for 1 year from

applying for or taking any test for a certificate or rating

under 14 CFR part 61.

VALIDITY OF AIRMAN TEST REPORTS

For an Airman Test Report to be valid, it must be dated

within the 24-calendar month period preceding the

month you complete the practical test. If the Airman

Test Report expires before completion of the practical

test, you must retake the knowledge test.

The 24-month limitation does not apply if you:

1. are employed as a flight crewmember by a

certificate holder under 14 CFR parts 121, 125, or 135

at the time of the practical test and have satisfactorily

accomplished that operator’s approved:

a. pilot in command aircraft qualification

training program that is appropriate to the certificate

and rating sought; and

b. qualification training requirements

appropriate to the certificate and ratings sought; or

2. are employed as a flight crewmember in

scheduled U.S. military air transport operations at the

time of the practical test, and have accomplished the

pilot in command aircraft qualification training program

that is appropriate to the certificate and rating sought.

RETESTING PROCEDURES

If you receive a grade lower than 70 percent and wish

to retest, you must present the following to testing center

personnel.

•failed Airman Test Report; and

•a written endorsement from an authorized instructor

certifying that additional instruction has been given,

and the instructor finds you competent to pass the test.

If you decide to retake the test in anticipation of a better

score, you may retake the test after 30 days from the

date your last test was taken. The FAA will not allow

you to retake a passed test before the 30-day period

has lapsed. Prior to retesting, you must give your current

Airman Test Report to the test proctor. The last test

taken will reflect the official score
