From our Students Here is what they are saying about the courses

The content shared is very specific to the study, training and testing. This is a great advantage to have under your wing so you have a better understanding of what is expected from you the day of the exam. Watching an actual DPE say in person what he would like to see in real time is definitely setting you up for greater success.

Getting information straight from an examiner on what will be needed and required helps in getting ready and prepared for a check ride. This knowledge can possibly save oneself from mistakes that could cost a lot of time and money. Knowing what's needed and expected helps build confidence that you'll be ready on the day of your exam.

What is a checkride?

A checkride is the practical test at the end of your pilot training that's required in order to get your certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). During the checkride, your examiner will test your knowledge on the ground and have you demonstrate your abilities with a flight.

Description

Afraid Your Checkride Will End in Failure?

You’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours training and studying.

Now everything rides on one high-pressure test.

One wrong move, one forgotten regulation, one sloppy maneuver – and you could fail.

Every student pilot knows this fear.

“What if I freeze up during the oral exam?”
“What if my steep turns aren’t within standards?”
“What if I blow it and hurt my future flying career?”

The Hard Truth About Checkrides

Many good pilots fail checkrides.

But most failures happen for the same predictable reasons – reasons you can avoid with the right preparation.

Your DPE isn’t looking to fail you.

They’re looking for a safe, knowledgeable pilot.

Problem is, you don’t know exactly what they want to see.

Until now.
