PilotPrep has launched an interactive artificial intelligence Designated Pilot Examiner designed to provide student pilots with realistic mock checkride orals for private pilot, instrument rating, and commercial pilot certificates, according to company officials.
Unlike standard flashcards or quiz apps, the platform simulates the conversational nature of an FAA practical test, company officials explained. The system develops a scenario-based cross-country flight tailored to the applicant’s aircraft and departure airport, asking one question at a time and probing with follow-up queries if an initial response lacks detail. Students may respond either by speaking aloud or typing.
Each session concludes with a detailed performance report scored against FAA Airman Certification Standards (ACS) to highlight knowledge deficiencies. Applicants can share results directly with their flight instructors to evaluate checkride readiness prior to test day.
“The oral isn’t a quiz, it’s a conversation — and most students never get to practice that conversation before they’re sitting across from the examiner,” said Jerry Davis, founder of PilotPrep. “I built PilotPrep to fix that.”
PilotPrep offers the first three sessions free of charge, with subsequent access available as a one-time purchase per certificate level rather than a recurring subscription.
