About
The Checkride Guide was developed by FAA-approved check instructors to simplify and streamline checkride preparation for private, instrument, and commercial students. Built directly around topics from the FAA Airman Certification Standards (ACS) and currently trusted by over 100 pilots, The Checkride Guide provides organized, structured, easy-to-understand information. It helps reduce two of the most common causes of unsatisfactory checkride performances: lack of depth in knowledge and gaps in knowledge.
All in one place, The Checkride Guide first helps students gain a deeper level of knowledge on each topic by providing clear explanations, summarized content, and links to official FAA references for deeper study. Visual learners also benefit from helpful new graphics covering topics like basic VFR weather minimums, national airspace, holds, and more. This systematic approach of breaking down ACS topics and subtopics helps to prevent gaps in knowledge by keeping students from having to jump around hundreds of scattered resources without guidance. It makes studying simple and more efficient.
Currently, The Checkride Guide is offered for private, instrument, and commercial ASEL. It includes scenario-based questions for each topic, common checkride errors, and a “Helpful Resources” section with links to many external resources covering special emphasis areas such as CFIT, LAHSO, ADM, SPRM, TFRs, runway incursions, stall and spin awareness, windshear, wake turbulence, runway signs and markings, and more.
The Checkride Guide is completely FREE to all CFIs and very affordable for students. It also provides a 14-day free trial. Readers can use the code “aerocrewnews” when joining to receive an additional month free and cancel anytime with no minimum commitment.
What’s Next
Going forward, developers of The Checkride Guide plan continued expansion of useful new tools and resources to help members go beyond the rote level of knowledge. Additions under development include:
- An expansion of scenario-based questions – As an important pillar to checkrides, expanding scenario-based questions within The Checkride Guide is under consideration to encourage students to go past mechanical memorization to be able to apply what they learn.
- “Ask a CFI” is a chat function that will allow members to launch a chat with a CFI when they have questions during their studies.
- “Focus Topic Articles” will be individual articles, published over time to further delve into some of the most challenging topics.
