Pass your private pilot checkride, then stay sharp after it. Your knowledge decays when you stop studying. Crosscheck measures that. Skip two weeks and your readiness gauge drops, weak areas surface, and the daily plan rebuilds itself to get you back on pace for your checkride date. STUDY • 679 flashcards in 20 decks: weather, airspace, regulations, aerodynamics, systems, emergencies • Spaced repetition brings each card back right as you start to forget it • FAA-written-style multiple choice with shuffled answers • Trouble cards: miss a card three times and it moves to the front • A daily plan from your countdown: how many cards and orals per day to make the date MOCK ORAL • 10 examiner-style orals across the ACS Areas of Operation. 62 questions with model answers and likely follow-ups • Examiner mode reads each question aloud, runs a think timer, then speaks the model answer. Chair-fly on your commute. • Questions you miss feed your next study session FLY THE NUMBERS • Weight and balance with a live CG envelope and saved loadouts, including checkride day with your DPE aboard • V-speeds you edit to match your POH • Maneuver glance sheets: speeds, ACS tolerances, flow, common errors • Kneeboard mode: full-screen memory items and V-speeds for the yoke clip • Live METAR decode for your home field, plus practice METARs AFTER THE RIDE • Logbook with FAR 61.57 passenger-currency and flight-review countdowns • A one-page progress report you can hand your CFI • Lock-screen widget: cards due, streak, days to checkride • Cockpit night mode. No account, no ads, no tracking. Your data stays on your device. Crosscheck is a study aid. It is not flight instruction and not a source of operational flight information. Verify everything against your POH, the current FAR/AIM and ACS, and your instructor. Weather comes from aviationweather.gov and is not an official briefing.
