  - Medical certificate classes and durations.

- **Alcohol and Drug Regulations**:

  - FAA rules on consumption and flying.

- **Flight Time Limits**:

  - Duty and rest requirements under Part 91 and Part 135.

 2. Aerodynamics

- Principles of Flight:

  - Lift, drag, thrust, and weight.  

  - Factors affecting performance and control (e.g., ground effect, load factor).  

- **Stalls and Spins**:

  - Causes, recovery techniques, and how they differ in commercial operations.

- **High-Speed Aerodynamics**:

  - Understanding Mach buffet and critical Mach number (if applicable to aircraft).

 3. Aircraft Systems

- Aircraft Familiarity:

  - Explain the systems on the aircraft used for the checkride (e.g., electrical, fuel, hydraulic).  

- **Performance**:

  - V-speeds (e.g., Vx, Vy, Vne, etc.) and their significance.  

  - Weight and balance calculations.  

  - How density altitude affects takeoff, climb, and landing performance.

 4. Weather

- Weather Charts and Reports:

  - Interpreting METARs, TAFs, PIREPs, and weather depiction charts.  

  - Understanding SIGMETs, AIRMETs, and convective outlooks.

- **Weather Theory**:

  - Causes of turbulence, wind shear, and temperature inversions.  

  - Weather patterns associated with fronts and pressure systems.

- **Cross-Country Weather Decisions**:

  - How to evaluate go/no-go scenarios.

 5. Airspace and Charts

- Airspace Classes:

  - Requirements for entry, equipment, and pilot certification.  

  - Special use airspace (MOAs, restricted areas, etc.).

- **Navigation**:

  - Reading and interpreting sectional charts and IFR enroute charts.  

  - Use of VOR, GPS, and other navigation aids.

 6. Operations

- Preflight Responsibilities:

  - FAR requirements for preflight planning.  

  - Passenger briefing procedures.

- **Weight and Balance**:

  - Calculations for safe operation under commercial conditions.

- **Commercial Scenarios**:

  - Operations involving aerial photography, sightseeing flights, or ferrying aircraft.  

  - Considerations for hazardous materials (HAZMAT).

7. Emergency Procedures

- Common Emergencies:

  - Engine failures, electrical issues, fire, and other malfunctions.  

  - Emergency descent and diversion procedures.

- **Risk Management**:

  - Identifying hazards and mitigating risks during commercial flights.

  Sample Oral Exam Questions

1. **What are the privileges and limitations of a commercial pilot operating under Part 91?**  

2. **Explain the steps you would take if the alternator fails during a flight.**  

3. **What are the fuel requirements for a flight under VFR at night?**  

4. **Describe the difference between a SIGMET and an AIRMET.**  

5. **What factors affect the takeoff distance of an aircraft?**  

6. **How would you handle a passenger who appears intoxicated before boarding?**  

7. **Explain the spin recovery procedure for your aircraft.**  

8. **What are the VFR weather minimums in Class E airspace above 10,000 feet?**  

Tips for Success

1. **Know Your Aircraft**: Be able to explain systems, performance data, and limitations confidently.  

2. **Stay Organized**: Bring charts, the FAR/AIM, and other reference materials to support your answers.  

3. **Focus on Scenarios**: Be ready to answer situational questions about commercial operations.  

4. **Communicate Clearly**: Use standard terminology and demonstrate professionalism in your responses.  

5. **Be Prepared**: Review the ACS (Airman Certification Standards) for the CPL to understand what the examiner expects.
