## What is KnowTAM?

Study smart and pass. KnowTAM is flashcard, quiz, and oral-exam prep for your FAA knowledge tests and checkrides, with over 1,500 cards across every rating.

Whether you're a student knocking out your first written, a pilot prepping for a checkride, or staying sharp for a flight review, KnowTAM gets you ready and keeps you ready.

WHAT'S INSIDE 
• Flashcards with the answer, a CFI explanation of the "why," the regulation or handbook reference, and the exact FAA ACS code each card maps to, all written to the Airman Certification Standards. 
• "Refer to the figure" questions on real FAA images: sectionals, instrument and approach plates, airport signs and markings, and weather diagrams. 
• Multiple-choice quizzes by subject area that don't just mark you wrong; they highlight exactly why each wrong answer is wrong, with instant feedback scored against the 70% FAA passing mark. 
• Spaced repetition that brings back the cards you miss and spreads out the ones you know, so you reach "mastered" and stay there. 
• Checkride / oral-exam sets that drill the way a Designated Pilot Examiner actually asks. Also perfect before a flight review.

STUDY ANYWHERE, ANYTIME KnowTAM works fully offline: no signal, no problem. Everything runs in airplane mode with no account and no login, so you can study whenever and wherever you are: at the hold-short line, on a long cross-country, or on the airline ride to your checkride.

START FREE Start free with Private: the first three modules are on us. And the entire Aviation Weather track is free for everyone: the atmosphere, fronts, thunderstorms, icing, mountain weather, and reading the reports, all with FAA diagrams. Unlock the rest of Private, add Instrument, Commercial, or Multi-Engine, or grab the all-access bundle. Simple one-time purchases, never a subscription.

RATINGS COVERED 
• Aviation Weather (free for everyone) 
• Private Pilot 
• Instrument Rating 
• Commercial Pilot 
• Multi-Engine (Vmc, the critical engine, single-engine performance)

Original, ACS-aligned content, written and reviewed by a working CFI. Your progress stays private on your device.
