Nearly every flight instructor requires his or her students to have a copy of the current FAA Practical Test Standards.

The Practical Test Standards are fundamental to a successful checkride and include the skills and knowledge required for each certificate or rating. Instructors, students, and examiners use these books to prepare, review, take, or issue the checkride.

ASA reprints the most current FAA Practical Test Standards in this series of handy cockpit-sized guides.
