How this works
By Pilots is FAA written test prep for the private pilot knowledge test and the commercial pilot written (CAX). You pay on this site for the commercial written or the private written. They are sold separately. The study path is the same shape for each one.
How does the study path work?
You study one section at a time. The next section stays locked until you finish the current one. After all sections are done, you do a mixed review that draws from all sections together. Then you take a few full-length sample tests in the testing-center format. The path ends by telling you to go take the real FAA knowledge test. That is not a promise you will pass.
Why pay on this site?
You pay on the site. Each product is $49.99 for six months and auto-renews until you cancel. Cancel stops the next charge only. Access continues until the end of the period you already paid. Commercial written and Private written are sold separately. Paying for one does not unlock the other. Questions stay on this site. There is no download of the question bank.
How does this compare with other FAA written prep?
People comparing FAA written prep often look at Sheppard Air. They sign you up by phone. This site lets you pay now.
How much does it cost?
Each product is $49.99 USD for six months. Commercial written and Private written are separate purchases. There is no bundle.
How long does access last?
Six months from the start of the paid period. The subscription renews for another six months until you cancel.
What happens if I cancel?
Cancel stops the next charge. You keep access until the end of the period you already paid. You do not lose the days you have left.
Are the private and commercial writtens the same product?
No. The private pilot written and the commercial pilot written (CAX) are sold and entitled separately. A subscription to one never opens the other.
Is this the real FAA test?
No. The sample tests use the look of a testing-center screen so you can practice that format. They are not the FAA knowledge test, and they are not an official score. The questions shipped with this site are labeled SAMPLE. Schedule the real test with the FAA when you are ready.
