About

Written by a student pilot, not a flight instructor. Prepare for your checkride with your flight instructor, and if you want to use this site during the checkride, ask your evaluator beforehand.

Getting ready for a checkride means working through the ACS, the regulations, the AIM and several FAA handbooks, and it’s easy to feel buried. Checkride Binder lays out every task and element of the Private Pilot (Airplane) ACS and links each one to the official source that answers it, so you can see what the checkride covers and where each answer is written.

It’s free and made for student pilots, not to make money: no ads, no accounts, no tracking, nothing for sale. The Private Pilot checkride comes first; other checkrides will follow, one ACS at a time.

Open a task to see its elements and sources. Search by task code (PA.I.C), regulation (91.155) or any word. Official sources only hides the notes and the quick reference, leaving the ACS and the FAA and other government sources.
