Ride Ready
Read full descriptionHide full description
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. Reviewed 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 Every question, note and checklist item has been checked against the current flight test guides (TP 13723E and TP 13462E), the Canadian Aviation Regulations consolidated to September 2026, the TC AIM 2026-2 and TC's Standards. 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). Your progress can sync between your devices through your own iCloud account — optional, private, and never seen by anyone else. Studying works entirely offline, with no account and nothing collected by the developer. BUILT FROM THE PUBLISHED SOURCES The 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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Ride Ready at 3 against PSTAR Official's —. PSTAR Official's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
