Groundwork: Private Pilot

Study for the FAA Private Pilot written test a few minutes a day. 75 short lessons, 1,294 practice questions, 24 memory hooks and practice tests weighted like the real one, covering every subject area in the FAA Private Pilot Airplane Airman Certification Standards (ACS). Free to start. Unlock every lesson and test with one purchase. FREE TO START The first lesson of every subject, all your reviews and memory-hook drills, and a quick 20-question test are free. Unlock Groundwork, a one-time purchase, to open all 75 lessons, as many quick tests as you like and the full 60-question mock. LEARN IN BITES Each lesson is a few short bites, one idea at a time, many with a drawing or something to play with: the four forces, the traffic pattern, airspace, a working VOR, crosswind components, density altitude, weight and balance. START WHERE YOUR CLASS IS The first lesson of every subject is open from day one, so you can begin with weather, airspace or regulations and follow the suggested path from there. REMEMBER IT ON TEST DAY Every fact comes back on a spaced schedule (1, 3, 7, 16, 35 days and more), asked a different way each time. Misses come back tomorrow. Memory hooks like IMSAFE and ATOMATOFLAMES are drilled letter by letter. An optional daily reminder tells you when reviews are due. KNOW WHEN YOU'RE READY Readiness grows as facts stick, weighted the way the FAA weights the test. Set your test date and Groundwork plans each day. "Ready to pass" appears once your facts are solid and your last 60 test questions score 75% or better. PRACTICE TESTS LIKE TEST DAY Take quick 20-question tests, or a full 60-question mock in 2 hours for the week before your exam. Every test is weighted like the real one, 3 choices a question, pass at 70%. Mark questions, change answers and review them all before you submit. Test questions are kept separate from your lessons and reviews, so your score shows what you know. Misses are listed by ACS code, just like the real report, and you can share it with your instructor. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Open the app and start studying. Your progress stays on your iPhone and works offline. Groundwork is a study aid. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by the FAA, and its questions are written for the app, not taken from the FAA test. You still need an instructor's endorsement to take the knowledge test.
