The real test is taken at an FAA-approved testing center, and you need an endorsement from your flight or ground instructor to sit it (your instructor signs it, not us), so it pays to be ready first time. Try the free mock to see where you stand.

Questions
How does it work?
Take the free mock to see where you stand. When you buy, you create an account with your email and a password, and get 12 months of access. Practice topic by topic with an explanation after every question, then sit full timed mock tests in the real FAA format until you pass them comfortably.
Is it the same format as the real Private Pilot test?
Yes. Three answer choices with one correct. The full mock is 60 questions in 2 hours with a 70% pass mark, split across the eleven areas of operation in the same proportions as the real test (Preflight Preparation and Takeoffs, Landings, and Go-Arounds are about a fifth each). Your results show your score in each area.
Do you have sectional chart questions?
Yes. Some use figures from the FAA testing supplement, the book of charts and figures the real Private Pilot test uses. Others are extracts from current FAA sectional charts, so you also practice on the charts you will fly with. The sectional extracts are re-cropped when the FAA publishes new editions.
Can you give me the endorsement to take the test?
No. To take the Private Pilot Airplane knowledge test you need an endorsement from an authorized flight or ground instructor saying you have done the ground training or a home-study course, so your instructor signs it, not us. Our course is for practicing and checking you are ready before you book.
Are these the real FAA test questions?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who says theirs are. Every question here is original, written from the FAA's own public publications: the regulations, the FAA handbooks and study guides, and for Part 107 the current sectional charts. That way you learn the material rather than memorizing answers, which is what the test checks.
What if I fail?
If you complete at least 90% of the question bank and still fail the FAA test, email us your FAA score report and we will refund you in full (half the package price per failed test if you bought a package). The details are on the refunds page.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It works in any modern browser on phone, tablet or computer. There is nothing to install, and an unfinished test is saved on your device if you close the tab.
