Private Pilot Test Prep - FAA

This app has been helpful thus far but I can’t seem to figure out how to draw lines on the charts during questions I’m not sure if I’m just oblivious to the feature or if it doesn’t exist but it’s hard to see how well your doing if you some of the questions you get wrong isn’t because you don’t know the answer but because the precision required can’t be completed because you physically can’t draw on the charts. Also a lock zoom button would be great because when I get the zoom correctly so that my in hand scale matches the scale given on the key once locked into the position you can no longer scroll the map and if you unlock it you risk the zoom changing and throwing off your calculations Update: I managed to pass my PAR with a 100%, would be five star if you were able to select the amount of zoom and keep it that way for more accurate measurements, or adding the protractor into the app.

This is a great test guid and is the only reason I scored a 98% on the knowledge test, it has almost every type of question you will encounter on the Knowledge exam. I used this over my Jepson Private Pilot study materials due to the fact that it is so easy to access and use. For a lunch break, or any time you have a free minute you can just go on your phone and you have the same quality material that you would get from the Jepson test books or any of the other big aviation text book companies. The explanations are fairly good and it uses the same diagrams and references that are in the actual PAR exam, so if you have the testing supplements booklet you can use it to help answer all the questions that require a reference. If you don’t have the test supplement booklet I highly recommend it because you will need it you answer any of the plotting questions.

I am currently preparing to take my private pilot check ride and have enjoyed using this study guide in my preparation. This app does an outstanding job of allowing one to not only become familiar with the types of questions and topics that will be on the written exam, but it also allows users to become familiar with the many sources of information from which these questions are derived. I also like the fact that you can choose specific topics and even sub topic areas to focus on, which makes it easier to study topics that you may be weaker in. When I become a flight instructor I will strongly recommend my students to utilize this resource for two reasons: 1) Student exposure to sources such as the AIM, FAR AIM, FAA Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, etc... 2) It is relatively inexpensive compared to other test prep materials I’ve seen and used which is good for young pilots who are already on a tight budget.
