Mock oral checkride
The examiner asks. You answer. Then you find out what he was listening for.
Twelve questions from a real checkride, one at a time. You type your answer the way you would say it, and each one comes back marked against the points a DPE expects to hear — with the follow-up question he would have asked next.
Try it — one question, graded, free
No account, no card. This is the same grader, the same model and the same rubric that marks the paid exam — just one question instead of twelve.
The examiner asks
What inspections must this aircraft have to be airworthy today? Walk me through each.
How it is graded, and how the answers were checked
Each of the 100 scenarios was checked line by line against the current text of 14 CFR, the AIM and the FAA handbooks. Where they disagreed, the regulation won.
Your answer is marked by a model that is handed that scenario's rubric and is forbidden from introducing any regulation, limitation or figure that is not in it. It is not answering from its own knowledge and it cannot invent a rule to fail you on — it checks whether your words carry the points the examiner is listening for, and tells you which ones they did not hear.
A checkride retest costs $175 in examiner fees before you add the aircraft. This is the rehearsal. Your link never expires, and you can sit all four ratings with it.

A real question, and a real answer being marked
The examiner asks
What documents must you have on board the aircraft and on your person to legally fly today?
You typed
The aircraft needs AROW: airworthiness certificate, registration, operating limitations and weight and balance. I need my pilot certificate and medical.
He would probe this
You left out government-issued photo ID, which must be carried along with your pilot certificate and medical.
He did not hear: Mentions photo ID
“Besides your certificate and medical, what else do you need to have on your person?”
And at the end, the write-up
A DPE does not fail questions — he fails areas of operation, and under 14 CFR 61.43 a retest covers only the areas found deficient. So the twelve answers come back grouped the way FAA-S-ACS-6C groups them, with the study order underneath. That is the page you hand your instructor. Below is the shape of it, from an example sitting:
I.BAirworthiness Requirements
DeficientStudy: Aircraft documents (AROW), the inspection intervals (AV1ATE), ADs, MEL vs 91.213(d), and pilot-performed preventive maintenance.
I.ENational Airspace System
Needs workStudy: VFR weather minimums by class (91.155), Class A-G entry and equipment requirements, chart symbols, special use airspace, TFRs.
I.APilot Qualifications
Needs workStudy: 61.23 medical, 61.56 flight review, 61.57 currency, and the documents you personally must carry.
I.FPerformance and Limitations
SatisfactoryPrints to one page. The competency write-up is normally the part you pay a second fee for.
Marked against the ACS, not vibes
Every question carries the points a DPE expects to hear. That list is what your answer is compared to — nothing else.
It does not hand you the answer first
The model answer appears after you commit to yours. That is the part a study guide cannot do.
Terse is fine
Abbreviations and memory aids are how this material is actually recalled. You are marked on substance, not polish.
Four ratings
Private (25 questions in the bank), Instrument (25), Commercial (25), ATP (25). Sit each one; the paper differs.
