The primary purpose of Instrument Pilot FAA Knowledge Test is to provide you with the easiest, fastest, and least expensive means of passing the FAA Instrument Rating – Airplane (IRA) knowledge test, which is required before you can take your instrument rating practical (flight) test.

Additionally, this book can be used in preparation for the following FAA knowledge tests:

• Flight Instructor – Instrument-Airplane (FII), which is required for a flight instructor to add an instrument rating to his/her flight instructor certificate.
• Instrument Ground Instructor (IGI), which is required for a person desiring to teach instrument procedures as a ground (classroom) instructor.
• Instrument Rating – Foreign Pilot (IFP) who holds a foreign instrument rating and wants to add U.S. instrument privileges to their FAA private pilots certificate that was obtained on the basis of their foreign license.
• Flight Instructor – Instrument-Airplane – Added Rating (AIF), which is required if a flight instructor has an instrument (helicopter) rating on his/her flight instructor certificate and desires to add an instrument (airplane) rating to that certificate.
