About this app

Using a question-and-answer format, Private Pilot Checkride lists the questions most likely to be asked by examiners during the last step in the pilot certification process – the Practical Exam – and provides succinct, ready responses. Pilots will find this App an indispensable tool in both planning for what to expect during the airplane checkride, and mastering the subject matter. Instructors rate them as excellent preparation for students, as well as preps for Flight Reviews, aircraft transitions, and as general refresher material.

This Private Pilot Checkride app is based on the popular Private Oral Exam Guide book by Michael Hayes. It is designed for student pilots training for the Private Pilot Certificate. More than 800 questions and responses ensure all the subjects a Private Pilot candidate will be tested on during checkrides and review flights are covered. Topics include: pilot qualifications, airworthiness requirements, weather information, cross-country flight planning, national airspace system, performance and limitations, operation of systems, human factors, preflight procedures, airport operations, night operations, postflight procedures and scenario-based training. Answers and explanations were researched using FAA documents (which are identified so pilots know where to go for further study) as well as interviewing FAA examiners. Questions can be marked for further study from any subject to build your own collection of flashcards. An Applicant Practical Test Checklist and quick-reference to the Private Pilot maneuvers and tolerances (as defined in the Airman Certification Standards) are also included.

Compatible with iOS phones and tablets, this app teaches applicants not only what to expect, but also how to exhibit subject mastery and confidence when under the examiner’s scrutiny. It identifies candidates’ strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in their aeronautical knowledge, which increases study efficiency.

App features:

• More than 800 questions are included with succinct, ready responses.
• Questions from any subject can be flagged for further study into a separate group.
• Includes all the questions and answers from the popular book, Private Pilot Oral Exam Guide by Michael Hayes.
• Brought to you by a trusted resource in aviation training and publishing, Aviation Supplies & Academics (ASA).

In the main menu of the app all of the options are blank. I can't read any of the text. I can select the blank buttons and it opens to questions but I have to click multiple options before I find the section I want. The paper book is great. The ebook is also a pain and not worth it.

The content is great but the bugs make it almost impossible to use. When scrolling down it will go to the next question. Sometimes the main screen doesn't display the names of the chapters and not all of the marked questions are showing up in the marked section.

The content is great, but I had to read through a review to find out why the app wasn't showing any text. The app does not work in dark mode. Please update the app to allow usage in dark mode.
