Private Pilot preparation dashboard. Not a pass prediction, flight evaluation or endorsement. For other certificates and ratings, find your study guide.
Knowledge
Practice questions show what you understand and what to review. Your score comes from the answers you choose. Explanations link to the sources behind them.
Performance
Practice explaining your answers and applying them in the airplane. Your instructor observes how you fly and make decisions.
Instructor review
Review difficult topics together. Your instructor checks your preparation, flying proficiency and eligibility before issuing an endorsement.
How to use your preparation results
Use your practice results to find topics that need more study. Review the linked explanations, then discuss anything unclear with your instructor. Practice saved only in your browser may not appear in My Preparation.
Practice scores do not guarantee a passing result. Your instructor decides when to endorse you, and your examiner evaluates your practical test.
Each explanation links to its reference. For aircraft limits and procedures, use the current AFM/POH and supplements for the airplane you fly.
