## What is Pocket Pilot?

Pocket Pilot is a complete ground school for the FAA Private Pilot written test. It teaches every subject with structured lessons, then tests you with full-length mock exams, so you know you're ready before you schedule the real thing.

Updated for the 2026 FAA Knowledge Test.

Most test prep apps are a question bank and nothing else. Pocket Pilot teaches first: when you miss a question, the lesson that explains it is already in the app, not in a textbook you have to buy separately. Everything works offline, at the airport or anywhere without signal.

WHAT YOU GET

• Structured lessons: short, focused sections with clear diagrams that break dense topics down, so you understand the material instead of memorizing answers.
• Full mock written exams: 60 questions, a 70% passing score, and a real time limit, with no answers revealed until you finish. Review every question afterward to see exactly where you went wrong.
• Spaced repetition: questions you miss come back at the right interval, so weak spots get extra practice while mastered ones fade out.
• Progress tracking: completion, quiz, and exam scores for every subject, so you know when you're ready to take the written ahead of your checkride.
• Streaks, XP, and levels: small daily habits that keep the studying going.
• Works offline: all content ships inside the app. No signal required.
