Tim's Sample FAA Exam

On the real exam you have a booklet (FAA Publication FAA-CT-8080-2D) with several charts and pictures in it. Most any book with an sample exam same figure numbers for the same pictures. For an example Figure 4 is an airspeed indicator so if your study book shows an airspeed indicator showing 135 you should have the correct figures. I have attempted to scan a number of figures but some aren't clear enough.

The current questions are for booklet 8080-2D which do have the new weather questions. You can order the current booklet (FAA-CT-8080-2D or ASA-CT-8080-2D) from the US Government bookstore or from ASA for about US$12. The title is "Computerised Testing Supplement for Recreational and Private Pilot" but make sure you get the -2D version. The same figures are found in Jeppeson's as well as Glemm's test books as well as countless others.

You can use real charts for some of the figures. Your local chart shop may give you expired charts that will work fine. The following sectionals will work. You may be able to use the Dallas Terminal area chart if you have it for questions that ask for Figure 26 but the test uses part of the sectional chart.

• fig 21 Washington
• fig 22 Billings
• fig 23 Great Falls
• fig 24 Atlanta
• fig 25 Dallas-Ft Worth
• fig 26 Dallas-Ft Worth sectional or maybe Dallas terminal
• fig 27 Twin Cities
