About this USA Private Pilot Written Exam practice test

The private pilot written exam is the FAA’s Private Pilot Airplane (PAR) knowledge test. You must pass it before the checkride. It covers regulations, airspace, weather, aerodynamics, navigation and aircraft performance.

Our question bank is written from the official sources behind our USA Private Pilot Written Exam guide. Every question comes with an explanation, so each test teaches you something even when you get it wrong.

  1. Set up your test: pick the number of questions (up to all 14), a mode and, if you want, a single topic: Airspace & weather, Regulations, Test basics, Aerodynamics.
  2. Answer the questions: questions are drawn at random and answer choices are shuffled every time.
  3. Get your results: see your score, a topic-by-topic breakdown and an explanation for every answer, then retry the ones you missed.

Is the USA Private Pilot Written Exam practice test free?

Yes. The USA Private Pilot Written Exam practice test is completely free, with no sign-up. You can take as many tests as you like.

Will I see the same questions every time?

No. Each test pulls random questions from the full bank and serves questions you haven’t seen yet first, mixed across topics. Answer options are shuffled every time too.

How many questions can I take at once?

Choose 10, 25 or 50 questions (as the bank allows), or the entire question bank. You can also focus on a single topic to work on weak areas.

What is the difference between exam mode and practice mode?

Exam mode works like the real test: you answer everything and see your score and explanations at the end. Practice mode shows the correct answer and explanation right after each question.

Can I retry the questions I got wrong?

Yes. Your results page has a “Retry missed” button that builds a new test from only the questions you missed.
