Drone pilots will need additional information about rules for unmanned aircraft systems not covered in the PSTAR app. The app allows you to go through each section separately and answer question by question. You will be able to see the correct answer immediately and don´t have to wait until the end to see the final score. We think that way you will learn much quicker. Once you feel competent you can start trying some of the exams. When you score consistently more than 90% you should be well prepared for the real exam! This is also an excellent tool to study Air Law for your PPL and CPL written exams. Before a student pilot in Canada can go for his/her first solo flight, the Transport Canada PSTAR (Pre-Solo Test about Air Regulations) exam has to be completed. It is an exam about Air Regulation. The questions in the database are taken from the official Transport Canada Study Guide, TP11919. The PSTAR app will be updated regularly to ensure the most current questions. The PSTAR exam you will take at your Flight School or at Transport Canada consists of 50 questions. If you study with this app a couple of evenings a week you should have no problem scoring a good grade. The minimum pass rate is 90%. Use your time more efficiently, study for your PSTAR exam on the go, and pass with ease. Good luck with your PSTAR exam and many happy landings!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Drone Centre at none against PSTAR Plus's 1. PSTAR Plus's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 23 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
