New York, USA – PilotPrep has launched an AI examiner that gives student pilots a full mock checkride oral for the Private Pilot, Instrument Rating and Commercial Pilot certificates.
The oral portion of a practical test is a conversation, not a quiz. Examiners change one variable, ask what regulation backs up an answer, and keep pressing until they find the edge of what an applicant knows. PilotPrep is built to practice that conversation. The AI examiner builds a cross-country scenario from the student's home airport and aircraft, asks one question at a time, and follows up when an answer is incomplete. Students answer out loud or by typing.
Every session ends with a report scored against the FAA Airman Certification Standards (ACS), showing strong and weak areas. Students can share it with their instructor, and CFIs get a free view of their students' readiness.
"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. I built PilotPrep to fix that," said Jerry, Pilot and Founder of PilotPrep.
The first three sessions are free with no credit card. After that, PilotPrep is a one-time payment per checkride ($49–$59), or $129 for all three, with no subscription. Visitors can try a three-question live demo on the homepage without creating an account.
PilotPrep is a study aid built on the ACS. It does not replace instruction, an endorsement or the practical test itself.
