Rehearse the oral ground portion of the Canadian PPL and CPL flight test. 281 examiner-style questions, answered out loud and marked 4, 3, 2 or 1 the way you will be marked on the day. Written by a Class 3 flight instructor. The ground portion happens before you ever walk out to the aeroplane, and a single ground item marked 1 ends the flight test on the spot — ground items don't qualify for a partial re-test. Ride Ready is for the weeks leading up to that table. HOW IT WORKS • The examiner's question comes up. Answer it out loud, the way you will on the day. • Reveal what the examiner is listening for: the model answer, the references, and the angle examiners take. • Mark yourself honestly on the flight test guide's scale — 4 thorough, 3 adequate, 2 gaps, 1 couldn't. Anything you mark 1 or 2 comes back first, and a spacing schedule brings the rest round before you forget it. STUDY OR MOCK ORAL Study mode shows the answer first. Mock oral makes you commit to a mark before the answer appears, runs in the examiner's order from 2A to 23A, and covers every subject you choose. WHAT'S COVERED • 2A — documents and airworthiness • 2B — aeroplane performance • 2C — weight and balance • 23A — pre-flight planning Plus aircraft systems, the walkaround, emergencies and boxed memory items, air law, human factors, test-day admission and commercial operations for the CPL. YOUR AEROPLANE'S NUMBERS Speeds, weights and limits are substituted into every question for the aeroplane you fly — Cessna 152, 172P, 172R and 172S, Piper Warrior II/III, Diamond DA20-C1 and DA40 presets, each checked against its handbook, or your own aeroplane's figures. FOR YOU AND YOUR INSTRUCTOR • A session report with item-by-item marks, whether you would go on to the aeroplane, and exactly what to take back to your instructor — shareable as plain text • Progress by subject, and a readiness checklist of what to bring and what stops a test • Vref and medical-validity calculators • Questions read aloud, so you can practise with your eyes on the handbook CHECKED AGAINST THE SOURCES For 1.5, every question, note and checklist item was re-checked against the current flight test guides (TP 13723E and TP 13462E), the Canadian Aviation Regulations consolidated to September 2026, the TC AIM 2026-1 and TC's Standards — 161 questions corrected. IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC The same app on each device: two columns on iPad and Mac, and full keyboard control on a Mac or an iPad keyboard (Space shows the answer, 1–4 mark). Progress stays on the device you study on. Works entirely offline — no account, no internet, nothing collected. WRITTEN BY AN INSTRUCTOR Written, designed and built by P. Rodrigues, Class 3 Flight Instructor, from the published flight test guides, the Canadian Aviation Regulations, the Pilot's Operating Handbooks, and ground portions as they are actually run. Independent work. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a publication of Transport Canada, and not connected to any flight training unit. A study aid — verify anything you'll be marked on against the current CARs, the flight test guide and your own aircraft's handbook. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.5 — 2026-09-28 Ride Ready is now on Mac, and it has a new home screen. • Your next session comes first: Begin, Study or Mock oral one tap away, and the days to your flight test. Everything else is behind Change. • Mock orals now reach every item. They used to ask only 2A questions; now they draw from every subject you choose, in the examiner's order. • A fairer report. The verdict counts flight test items rather than answers, and says when a session left ground items unasked. • Every question, note and checklist item re-checked against the flight test guides, the CARs, the TC AIM and TC's Standards: 161 questions corrected (105 model answers and 124 source citations), including US rules that had slipped in and a few explanations with the physics backwards. • Keyboard control on iPad and Mac: Space shows the answer, 1–4 mark, the arrows go back and skip, Esc pauses. • Medical-validity and Vref calculators fixed, and you can rate or share the app from Settings. Your progress, marks and settings carry over untouched. ### 1.4 — 2026-09-22 Every regulation and TC AIM citation in the bank has been re-checked against the Canadian Aviation Regulations as consolidated in July 2026 and the TC AIM 2026-1. 56 questions corrected: stale section numbers replaced with the current ones, and the facts riding on them brought up to date — the 12-hour alcohol rule, the current aerobatics and night-equipment lists, the actual ELT exemptions, life preservers versus life rafts over water, and more. • Two near-duplicate questions rewritten so every slot earns its place • Reports and Settings open as full pages on iPad • Small layout refinements throughout Your progress, marks and settings carry over untouched. ### 1.3 — 2026-09-16 Ride Ready now runs on iPad. • A real tablet layout — two columns where there is room, and a reading measure for questions and reports rather than a stretched phone • All four orientations on iPad • A new app icon • Quieter credits at the foot of the Reference tab Every question, mark and session you already have carries over untouched. ### 1.2 — 2026-09-14 A complete visual redesign. • Layered glass cards, a readiness ring gauge and a floating tab bar • A proper dark mode — deep navy, not a flipped light theme • The accent colour now matches the app icon • Every question, mark and session you already have is kept — nothing resets ### 1.1 — 2026-09-14 Ride Ready is the new name for Ground Portion — same app, same question bank, new icon. • Four new aeroplane presets, every figure checked against the handbook: Cessna 152, Piper Warrior II/III, Diamond DA20-C1 and Diamond DA40 • Vref now appears only on the CPL side, where it is actually examined • Question wording that assumed a 172 now names the type and gives the Piper and Diamond case ## Apps similar to Ride Ready | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Flightdeck Training Suite](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/flightdeck-training-suite/id6742079345) | — | Free | Education | | [PSTAR Official](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pstar-official/id6498314007) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Education | | [PSTAR Plus - Transport Canada](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pstar-plus-transport-canada/id513960067) | 4.9 (13) | Free | Education | | [Driving Test Canada • 2025](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/driving-test-canada-2025/id1640376914) | 4.3 (4) | Free | Education | | [Learners Test Alberta 2026](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/learners-test-alberta-2026/id6475134113) | 4.8 (6) | Free | Education | | [M1 Test Ontario](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/m1-test-ontario/id1579183251) | 4.7 (7) | Free | Education | ## More apps by PATRICK ANTHONY RODRIGUES - [SAMRA Prep: ATPL Written Exam](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/samra-prep-atpl-written-exam/id6808752653) - [SARON Prep: ATPL Written Exam](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/saron-prep-atpl-written-exam/id6811369310) - [PPL Prep: Private Pilot Exam](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ppl-prep-private-pilot-exam/id6811711606) - [Private Pilot Prep: US](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/private-pilot-prep-us/id6812567579) - [Dispatch Prep: Dispatcher Exam](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dispatch-prep-dispatcher-exam/id6813288060) All apps by PATRICK ANTHONY RODRIGUES: https://appshunter.io/developer/6806796087 ## Related topics [ride ready](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/ride-ready) · [cpl](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/cpl) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
