AIRLINE TRANSPORT PILOT, AIRCRAFT DISPATCHER, AND FLIGHT NAVIGATOR KNOWLEDGE TEST GUIDE K NOWLEDGE INTRODUCTION TEST ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS 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.
KNOWLEDGE AREAS ON THE TESTS The following tests each contain 80 questions, and you are allowed 3 hours to complete each test. The knowledge tests are designed to test your knowledge in many subject areas. Q Q Q 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.
• the expiration date of the Airman Test Report), and actual residential address, if different from your mailing address.
