About

PilotPrep

Features
Read full description

Pass the FAA Private Pilot Airplane knowledge test — the written exam every student pilot must pass before the checkride. PilotPrep turns the whole Private Pilot syllabus into a game you can finish in a few minutes a day, and the first unit is free. READ REAL FAA CHART FIGURES Chart and weather questions sink more test-takers than anything else. PilotPrep drops the actual FAA sectional-chart and METAR figures right inside the question — airspace boundaries, tower and CTAF frequencies, obstruction heights, winds, and visibility — the same figures you'll decode on exam day. 335 QUESTIONS ACROSS EVERY ACS AREA A guided path covers the entire Private Pilot Airplane ACS: regulations, airspace and the National Airspace System, weather, aerodynamics, aircraft systems and performance, weight and balance, navigation, aeromedical factors, and aeronautical decision-making. Multiple choice, typing, matching, and true/false keep every lesson fresh, and every answer is explained and cited to its 14 CFR or FAA source. SIT THE WRITTEN BEFORE YOU SIT THE WRITTEN The full-length Practice Exam mirrors the real knowledge test: 60 questions, 42 correct to pass (70%), scored the moment you finish so you know exactly where you stand. SMART REVIEW THAT REMEMBERS FOR YOU Spaced repetition tracks every fact you've seen and brings back the ones you're about to forget — weakest first. A readiness score climbs as your test date approaches, so you walk in confident instead of guessing. MADE FOR BUSY STUDENT PILOTS • Daily goals, streaks, and gentle reminders keep you consistent • Hearts, XP, and a game map make studying feel like play • Works entirely offline for studying — no account, no sign-up FREE TO START, PREMIUM TO TEST The first unit and daily practice are free, ad-supported.
