Pass your Private Pilot, Instrument, Commercial, Flight Instructor, ATP, or Flight Engineer FAA Written Exam using your PDA!

With Private Pilot PocketTest software you can prepare for your FAA Written Exam anywhere! This program packs the entire Private Pilot FAA Written Exam database into an incredibly small space. Full-featured and designed especially for ease of use in a changing, mobile environment, PocketTest software allows you to study when you have time, and remembers your place so you can pick up where you left off in the next session.

Tim Hester, author of PocketTest Private Pilot Explanations, is an experienced flight instructor and airline pilot.With in-depth explanations written by Tim Hester, ATP/CFII/MEI.

The program is organized into subject areas that match the chapters in the FAA Private Pilot Written Exam book by Gleim Publishing, including:
  • Aerodynamics
  • Instruments
  • Airspace
  • FAR's
  • Performance
  • Medical
  • Weather
  • Weather Services
  • Navigation
  • Navigation Systems
  • Cross Country
  • Practice Test

Study only the questions you have time and equipment to answer! Questions are grouped into levels so you don't see questions that require a calculator or flight computer unless you have one with you. All figures that are readable on a PDA screen are built into the software, and larger figures such as Sectional Charts are grouped into a separate level that references a figure supplement, like any of the written exam books from Gleim, Jeppesen, ASA, or Cessna.

If you already have your license, the PocketTest programs are a great way to sustain your sharp sense of aeronautical knowledge and remain a safe and informed aviator.

For Instructors, PocketTest is an incredible reference tool. The "Search and Test" feature allows you to create a custom practice test using keywords or phrases that you specify, including FAA Subject Codes from your student's FAA Written Exam test results. Enter the Subject Codes and create a custom review session to quiz your student on the type of questions that he missed on the exam. Sign your student off with confidence that you have provided review in knowledge areas shown deficient before the Practical Test!

Requirements:PDA with Palm OS 2.0 or newer operating system. 482K free memory. IR Port required for infrared beaming function. Color screen optional. Application may be run from memory card if desired.


Message from the author: "I created the original PocketTest software back in 1998 to help me through my own Private Pilot license. It became obvious while trying to shuffle between job and flight training that I needed a portable way to study for the FAA exam. Now I'm a Commercial Pilot with Multi-engine rating, and somehow Europe and Africa have shown up in the windshield of my beloved old 1962 Cessna 185 Skywagon.

I hope that PocketTest will enable you to reach your flying dreams, too. I believe it is the best and most convenient way to pass your FAA Written Exam."
