About
The FAA’s Private Pilot Airplane knowledge test is the written part of earning a private pilot certificate. As with the remote pilot test, the FAA publishes sample questions but no question bank.
Private Pilot Prep uses the FAA’s samples plus over 900 questions written for the app, each checked against and cited to FAA sources, with lessons, drills for flight computer calculations, and tools for wind correction and weight and balance.
