What best describes scenario-based questioning during the oral?

Choices

  • The examiner poses a realistic situation and asks the applicant to work through decisionscorrect

    Scenario questions test applied decision making in a concrete situation.

  • The examiner asks only yes/no factual questions

    Scenario questioning is broader than simple factual recall.

  • The applicant writes an essay on aviation history

    That is not part of the practical-test oral.

  • The examiner reads answers from a script for the applicant to repeat

    The applicant reasons through the scenario, not repeats a script.

Why

In scenario-based questioning the examiner presents a realistic situation and asks the applicant to apply knowledge and manage risk to reach decisions.
