5 Best Tips To Help You ACE The PRIVATE PILOT FAA WRITTEN EXAM

- Hi Friends and Followers, Welcome back to another helpful video for you guys! I know its been a little while since I've last posted a video, I've been preparing for my Private Pilot Checkride which I recently just passed as of May 13. In this video I'm going to give you the 5 biggest tips and advice for you to not only pass, but ace the FAA written Exam. There are a total of 1,012 possible questions on the test, but only 60 of them will be used on the test.
Tip Number
1. Plan to study 3-4 weeks ahead of taking the test…It does not hurt you to have more time in front of you than behind, that you can spread out the learning. Try not to cram, take time to digest the concepts.
2. Study Simple. You're given so many books, charts, handbooks, sectionals, and other tools and equipment starting off on your pilot journey and it can be very confusing which resource to utilize. Try to use only one or two to study for the test.
3. Use the APP | or flashcards or flashcard mode on the app. Don't take a lot of practice tests, it will confuse you what the correct answer is.
4. Go Through each category individually. Start with ADS-B questions as they show up first and there is only 11 of them. Literally every possible question on the test is given. So if you would have gone through all of the questions, you would have seen every question on the test. It's literally the greatest cheat sheet of all time.
5. Review all of your answers that you're unsure about on the test. It might help you to see it under a fresh light.
As a Bonus here are 5 of the most missed questions on the Written Exam:
1. Absence of the Sky Condition and visibility on an ATIS broadcast indicates that:
A. Weather conditions are at or above VFR minimums.
B. The Sky condition is clear and visibility unrestricted.
C. The ceiling is at least 5,000 feet and visibility is 5 miles or more.
2. If an aircraft is involved in an accident which results in substantial damage to the aircraft the nearest NTSB field office should be notified:
A. Within 48 Hours - If ATC requests a report
B. Immediately - Report 10 Days
C. Within 7 Days
3. The Radius of the procedural out area of class C airspace is normally 20 NM when to contact
4. When is ADS-B out required?
When flying through the lateral and vertical boundaries of Class C Airspace or B airspace, what additional equipment is your aircraft required to have installed, if any?
ADS-B Out
5. What altitude are you required to fly at when flying over a national wildlife refuge or national park indicated on the sectional?
2,000Ft.

I just took the Private Pilot FAA exam and got a 98%. It is not about cramming the information in your head so that you can pass. I do not think people would want to fly with someone who earned 70% on their test and or flunked it and had to take it twice and then got a 73%. To learn the information and get a good score on the test, I did the following. First, I went to an in person ground school with required books and homework. The ground school required us to pass 3 practice tests. I only used the Kings online school and some other videos as supplementation as I tried the Kings on line school and I felt I was missing a lot of information and really was not understanding all of the information. The Kings School and or Sporty's ground school or other ground school is no substitute for class room training. There needs to be interaction and students need to ask questions in order to learn the material. I also used the Gleim test prep book and Sporty's practice exams along with a couple of Kings school practice exams. You need to study and study and study and did I say study a ton. There is no magic bullet. I also used some flash cards on my trouble spots. I did not cram for the test. On the way to the exam, I was playing rock music, felt confident, and showed up early and completed it in about an hour. Being a safe and competent pilot takes a lot of hard work.
Literally doesn’t matter if you get a 70 or a 100 most of the stuff has little to do with your actually skills in the plane
@@deeznuts6907 I find that I am using a lot of the stuff I learned in ground in the airplane. Now learning to fly the airplane is another bag of cats. Plus I think the FAA test filters out some of the people from flying. You have to be able to plan, look at the weather, have common sense, multitask, Math in your head, read the instruments, Fly the plane, communicate and the list goes on.
I disagree. You do not have to do an in-person ground. If it’s right for your “style or age” of learning, great-but many people have no issues with online format.
As someone who was only given kings school to pass, you are missing a lot. I pushed my test date out to try and learn more
You're so wrong.
I used your method and I passed the written today!!! Yay!! Thank you so much!!!
Oh my gosh, that's so awesome to hear! Was the test easier or harder than you expected? Thanks for sharing!
was it exactly like the sportys? waht did you get and what can you tell people?
How long did you study for before testing?
I think your suggestion for the FAA test is by far the most simple method. I am going to try it out, thank you so much!
Great tips! Thanks for this
Thank you for this video I’ve had a lot of anxiety about the studying
Just bought the app. Excited to learn!
Hey that's great! Happy to hear! Good luck man, wishing you the best!
Thank you!!
I plan on taking my test in a month. Never heard of the app but I’m going to download it to see what it has to offer, it can’t hurt. Thanks for the advice!
How’d it go?
Step number one "schedule your test 3-4 weeks in advance"
Heads up.. You will have to manage this entirely yourself.
The PSI testing website would not let me schedule a class more than 5-7 days in advance.
You will have to actually commit to do it on a certain date, then actually schedule it from the website a bit less than a week before the date.
At least his is what I clearly ran into when I tried to book a test one month in advance.
Awesome thank you
I was expecting over 100k subs, I see you getting there.
Haha, Bro thank you! Hope to get there soon!
Great video bro.
Thank You!
I myself use part 141 ASA kit ppl and be adding sportys online courses to it to prep for my exam with little over 500 usd together investments not included test itself
Hello, thank for the advice, you mentioned a cheat sheet there with you as you take the FAA test, could you elaborate what you meant please? and thank you.
Hi, thanks for the question! Yea, I think I was just referring to how the App with all of the questions and answers to FAA Test are on there, also in book format, but in my opinion I recommend the App over the book, just because it's more streamline, it offers more study methods, and it usually has better explanations. I made a video about the app if you're interested as well to help clarify a few things. But yea, the closest thing to a cheat sheet is the study app, and unfortunately during the test you are not allowed to have any notes with you or on your person. I hope that helps, if you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Wishing you the best!
Your tone demeanor and audio quality are way better than lots of other channels... if you did this and made some video's you could attract a lot of people. You talk slowly and do not repeat.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate the feedback! I haven't posted in a while due to the craziness of life, but I want to keep it going in the future! Hopefully I can keep getting better at making videos
Walla Walla sounds like a nice destination to fly to. I heard there is a really nice college there.
It's a beautiful place! Thanks leaving for the comment, great to have you apart of this community!
Awesome to share your insight. Did you enroll Sporty’s private pilot training program or just the app only?
Hey thanks for the question! Yes, I only purchased the app as a study tool, at the time it was $15.
they give you a cheat sheet for the exam?
question for those who have taken the test: Is is absolutely necessary to have an E6B or other electronic flight computer?? Been look to get one however most are backordered... any advice is helpful
I would advise having one. Just get a manual E6B and then also bring a simple calculator.
Where do you get the Sporty's Test app? I can only find REALLY expensive courses in the app?
AppStore or PlayStore
Serious question. Can someone use the restroom during the exam? Leading up to taking exams I get nervous and drink a lot of water before hand.
Yea, of course, you can definitely use the restroom during the exam! No problems! And I should at least put a disclaimer, that is the policy they have at the testing center that I go to. But I believe they will tell you that you can.
I don’t see it. There are two possible apps. Which exactly is it? Thanks
It should say, Private Pilot Test Prep. Its blue with a White airplane flying up diagonally. Thanks for your question! Let me know if you need more help!
2.5 hours limit on the test time.
I’m 24 hours in my flight lessons ive never been good at test I stress out a lot any tips for me?
The stress will be a lot lower on the FAA test than in the airplane during an emergency or other issue.
@@kimberlywentworth9160very good point
Don’t really know what happened but I took my exam yesterday and did not touch my E6B once. I got a 95% but I did not get a single questions that required my E6B. I also did not get any question’s regarding weight and balance
Can I ask how long got studied for before taking the test?
Yeah how’d you study?
Same 😂😂😂
@@jamesjohnson6309I got an 85% and I studied primarily by cranking out the Sporty’s practice questions over and over again. I did like 40-60 random questions a day in the weeks leading up to my written exam and did a few practice tests as well and that pretty much prepares you for what you will be asked in the real exam. Once you are consistently getting like 80-90% on the practice exams, you’ll be ready for the real one.
What do you think about Gleim ?
Hi thanks for the question, honestly I'm not very familiar with them, from what I've seen they've had decent material but I don't know enough about them to form an opinion yet. I'll ask around and see if I can find anything else out and let you know or make a video about it!
does the app help with the first exam from 161 course?
Hey thanks for the question, It helps for the written test! I have a video that shares more info about it
How do you prepare for the oral
Great question! Definitely a couple of ways you can do it, what really helped me was asking some of my other aviation buddies to quiz me on the oral study guide book, its blue colored for the private and red for the instrument rating cover. That was honestly the most helpful, then a CFI did a mock check ride with me to see if there were any holes in my knowledge, which there were many Lol, but was able to go back through and review those topics that I missed. Again its not too bad, just be confident and review the things you've learned. If you're able to, ask a fellow aviation friend or CFI to spend like an hour or two and just quiz you over the oral exam guide book. Make sure you have your acronyms memorized as they will probably come up during the test. Again the DPE is there to help you get your license, you need just need to prove that. The other way is through watching Mock Checkrides on TH-cam, there's this gold seal DPE who walks you through the whole process. Thanks for your question! Lol Hope that's helpful! Lol
What iis the pass rate please
Hi thanks for your question! From one article it looks like 99% of student pilots who study for a month in advance pass the written exam with an 87%. Not bad, I do highly recommend the app that you can see in another video, I break down how to use the app and what it contains in it. However, there are some things you're going to want to make sure you know how to do with your flight instructor such as calculate weight and balance and read charts. The app contains every question that would possibly be on the test.I hope this helps!
I think ima gonna fail my oral exam honestly 😭😭😭
Haha, nah dude, you got this!
Did you still go to ground school and which one did you choose?
Shepherd Air I hear is the best, however, I used Sporty's Pilot Online Ground School. Thanks for the question!
Fuck. I only memorized like 30 questions outta 1000 of the book🥺
Hi, I heard people said don’t memorize the answers cuz the FAA is changing the questions, so I’m kinda confused and not sure what should I do.
Oh that's interesting. Yea, what's really going to help you is knowing how the questions will be asked in format and in style so its still a good idea to review the test questions. Most likely you will encounter a question that you have studied on FAA test, it just might have a few different words in it, but the overall question will most likely sound very similar. But its always a good idea to review your ground knowledge, especially weather and regulations and airspace. Those will always be on the test. Hopefully that helps! Wishing you the best!
@@AmeliorateAviation Thank you very much, that actually helped a lot!
@@chinruichu5744 You are so welcome! And hey I really appreciate you reaching out to me and letting me know that! Welcome to the Ameliorate Aviation Family!!
This is all very well I have a commercial licence with 250 hrs cannot get a job so far a complete waste of money
Hi, I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you're able to find something soon. I know it's kind of a hard time especially in the airlines with Covid and all. Getting the hours can be the hard part. Hope it all turns out good for you! Take care
Are you at least enjoying flying? Such a privilege to see the world from an entirely different perspective. Still working on my PP, but hopefully will get to where you are someday. Even if only to continue to learn more about aviation & to grow in my safety skills
@@snsdb42 I absolutely love this comment!! You got this! Getting your Private Pilot's License is the greatest feeling in the world!! Wishing you the best and shoot me a message when you get your license! Always love to hear about ya'lls successes.
Most places require 500hour minimum, you should always research jobs before spending money on the education
Yes, unfortunately “250” min does not get you a commercial job. Like someone else said, 500 is usually the min on that.
