Private pilot test prep for the FAA Private Pilot Airplane (PAR) knowledge test, built around what phone apps make hard: the figures. Sectional excerpts, performance tables and weight-and-balance envelopes decide many questions on the private pilot written test, and here you can zoom and pan every one.
WHAT YOU GET
- 1,020 original practice questions, spread across the 11 ACS Areas of Operation tested on the PAR knowledge test
- Every question uses the three-choice A/B/C format, and all three options are explained, so you learn why each wrong answer is wrong
- Figure, chart and table questions with pinch-to-zoom and pan
- Flashcards and short study notes for each Area
- Timed 60-question mock exams, 120 minutes each, in the knowledge test format
- Missed-question review and a weak-area view
FIGURES YOU CAN READ ON A PHONE
Chart questions are where a private pilot practice test on a small screen falls apart. Here each figure opens full screen: read airspace floors on a sectional excerpt, follow a row of a takeoff distance table, or trace a point in a center-of-gravity envelope. The question stays one tap away.
WHO IT IS FOR
Student pilots preparing for the private pilot exam, people in ground school who want daily practice, and anyone who wants a structured FAA private pilot test prep routine in ten-minute sessions.
