What to do, step by step

Theory and the exam are open together — read as much as you need, then take the test when you are ready. The practical, the checkride and the certificate unlock in turn, each when the one before it is done.

Study the theory
Work through 4 lessons at your own pace — text, diagrams and references. Nothing is timed here.
Locked 🔒 Enroll to unlock
🔒
Pass the theory exam
6 questions, in random order. The bank holds 6, so you will see every one of them — the order changes, the questions do not. Pass mark 80%. The answer options move around too, so the position of the right one tells you nothing. Take it as many times as you need. No time limit — the clock is not running while you answer. Review every answer afterwards.

Fly the practical PIREP
Start ACARS before you push back and leave it running to the gate: the flight is checked from what ACARS records, so a sector flown with it switched off cannot be counted afterwards. When the PIREP is accepted, route, aircraft type and the rest are matched against the items below automatically.
2 flights to fly, 0 done:
