Built around the highest-yield study patterns: drill by topic with explanations, then run full timed exams. If you only have a weekend, compress Days 1–4 into Day 1 and Days 5–7 into Day 2.
Get the must-memorize numbers in your head.
Every limit, threshold, and reporting requirement. Tap any row with a ▶ to see the deeper explanation.
126 questions. After each one read the explanation — that's the actual learning.
Don't worry about the score — note which topics surprise you. Tomorrow you'll attack those.
The single biggest test category. Look at every figure.
Class B/C/D/E colors and lines, Mode C veil, MEF interpretation, obstacle marking.
Many include real FAA figures. Tap the figure → pinch-zoom on details. Read the explanation.
Search 'FAA-CT-8080-2H' on faa.gov. Print Appendix 2 figures and keep them next to you when drilling — that's what you'll see on the real test.
METARs and TAFs are guaranteed test content.
Sky cover oktas, cloud height convention (×100 AGL), wind dddffGff, M = minus, P6SM, FM/BECMG/TEMPO/PROB.
Walk through each METAR/TAF string character by character. Identify visibility, ceiling, dew-point spread, hazards.
Sierra=mountain obscuration/IFR · Tango=turbulence · Zulu=icing. Convective SIGMET = tornado, hail ≥¾", winds ≥50 kt, or line/embedded TS.
The judgment-and-systems half of the exam.
Memorize the 5 hazardous attitudes WITH their antidotes (exact wording matters). Plus PAVE, IMSAFE, DECIDE, 3P.
CG effects, density altitude, load factor in turns (30°/45°/60° = 1.15/1.41/2.0 G), LiPo handling.
Standard left pattern entry on 45° to downwind. CTAF self-announce format. Beacon colors. §107.37: sUAS yields to ALL aircraft.
30-min dark adaptation, off-center viewing, alcohol 8hr/0.04 BAC, civil twilight ±30 min, accident reporting 10-day/$500.
Real test conditions. Score 80%+ before continuing.
Don't pause. Don't look anything up. Use the same conditions as PSI.
Drill Mistakes pulls only the questions you've gotten wrong locally.
Goal: ≥85%. If you hit that two days in a row, schedule the real test.
Cross-domain stumpers and visual interpretation.
These combine airspace + weather + regs into one question — the same pattern as the toughest real-test items.
Space = reveal · → = next · ← = previous. Rate yourself honestly so the missed-queue is accurate.
These are the exact tricks the FAA uses to bait the wrong answer.
If you score 90%+ today, you'll pass tomorrow.
Aim for 90%+ to give yourself a safety margin against test-day nerves.
What to bring, what to do the morning of, common test-room rules.
Read every value column (don't expand details). Sleep well — well-rested matters more than 30 extra questions.
Book the FAA Knowledge Test at a PSI testing center (search faa.psiexams.com). Cost is roughly $175. Bring a government-issued photo ID. The test is 60 questions, 2 hours, three-choice multiple-choice. Passing score 70%.
