Studying for the DPE’s MEI POH test was very helpful. It did take some time to go through the POH and learn all the numbers, cautions, warnings, etc, but it’s proven itself useful when actually flying the airplane that’s for sure. I’m glad that I invested the time to really get to know the POH for the Semi…
And, the POH test doesn’t only pertain to POH questions per say; knowing the autopilot is also something that is vital to know how to do, and is/was on the POH test (as well as other things). Not only for flying efficiently/effectively in the IFR system, but when you’re taking on the
responsibility of
teaching another pilot applicant how the stuff works. Obviously, we want the best education given for the student’s sake.
