Study for the FAA Private Pilot written test (PAR) with 716 original questions, each tagged with its ACS code, plus generated nav log, weight and balance, and METAR/TAF trainers. Free to try. 716 original questions Every question was written for this app and checked against the current regulations, the Aeronautical Information Manual and the FAA handbooks. Nothing is copied from any question bank. 90 topics across seven subjects: Regulations, Weather, Airspace & Airports, Navigation, Aircraft & Systems, Performance & Weight and Balance, and Human Factors. Every question carries its ACS code The knowledge test report does not tell you which questions you missed - it prints a list of Airman Certification Standards codes. Enter those codes and the app builds a session from exactly those areas. Worth doing even after a pass: the examiner has to revisit each missed code on the oral. Four generated trainers, new numbers every time VFR nav log - a fresh three-leg cross-country between real airports, with wind, variation and a deviation card. Heading, groundspeed, ETA and fuel. Weight and balance - a fictional four-seat trainer with its own datum, arms and envelope. Moments, CG, the sloping forward limit, fuel burn, weight shift. METAR and TAF - a coherent report and forecast to decode, ending in the basic VFR versus Special VFR call. Calculation drills - density altitude, true airspeed, crosswind component, fuel required, glide distance, compass headings, and more, with worked answers. Answer, then confirm In practice, tapping an option only selects it. Change your mind as often as you like; nothing is scored until you press Confirm answer, and only then do the explanation, the reference and the ACS code appear. On a Mac, or an iPad with a keyboard, A to D picks an answer, Return confirms it, and the arrow keys move through a mock test. Full mock tests Sit the 60-question paper under the real 2-hour time limit and the real 70% standard, or a shorter timed quiz on one subject. No feedback until you submit. Afterwards every question is reviewable with its explanation, its reference and its ACS code. Tracks what you actually know Spaced repetition brings missed questions back on a schedule. A readiness estimate is weighted by how much each topic is worth on the test, so it tells you whether you are ready rather than how much you have clicked.
