The run-up before your checkride.
Free interactive sims and a CFI-reviewed, ACS-organized study guide for private pilot applicants — every claim verified against current FAA sources.
Wind makes or breaks ground reference maneuvers.
Feel it before you fly it — set the wind, pick a maneuver, watch what the corrected ground track demands.
Live readouts of the simulated groundspeed, wind correction angle (crab), and bank angle as the plane flies the selected maneuver, including where that bank sits within the maneuver’s range — shallowest at the upwind point, steepest at the downwind point. Airspeed is held constant.
Turns around a point — constant radius over the ground means the bank is steepest at the downwind point and shallowest upwind.
Then drill the oral the way it actually flows.
Every ACS element
14 chapters mapped to all 829 applicable knowledge, risk, and skill elements of FAA-S-ACS-6C — nothing skipped, nothing padded.
Verified, then CFI-reviewed
Claims checked against the live eCFR and current FAA handbooks, sources cited — then a CFI signs off before it ships.
FLY IT integration
Guide sections link straight into the sims: read turns around a point, then go fly the wind.
