Built by a student pilot who's been through it — every feature is designed around how real DPEs actually examine you.

✈️ FOUNDER

Aryan Patel

STUDENT PILOT · KATL · AGE 17

Hi, I'm Aryan — a 17-year-old private pilot based in Atlanta, Georgia. After going through the process of prepping for my written exam and checkride firsthand, I'm now working toward my instrument rating and building the tools I wish I had along the way.

Prepping for a checkride is harder than it needs to be. Between scattered study materials, expensive instructor hours, and no good way to practice oral exam questions on your own, most student pilots are left figuring it out alone at the kitchen table.

CheckrideReady changes that. I built it to give every student pilot access to a full suite of prep tools from anywhere — oral exam practice that questions you the way a real DPE would, written exam prep, and instructor tools that keep your CFI in the loop on your progress.

Common questions.

Is this a replacement for a real CFI? ▼

No — and it's not trying to be. CheckrideReady is a study tool that lets you practice and get comfortable with oral exam questions on your own time, so that when you do sit with your CFI or DPE, you're already sharp. Think of it as the gap between ground school and your actual checkride.

How does the oral exam simulator work? ▼

The examiner follows FAA ACS standards and questions you the way a real DPE would — starting with a focused question, following up based on your specific answers, and digging deeper when you're vague. It cites AIM and FAR references where relevant and wraps up each session with a brief performance summary.

Which ratings are currently supported? ▼

Private Pilot (PPL), Commercial Pilot (CPL), and Instrument Rating (IFR) are fully supported, with more ratings coming soon.

Can my CFI see my progress? ▼

Yes — on the Premium plan, your CFI can link their instructor account to your profile, view your completed ACS tasks, and assign specific areas for you to focus on. Assigned tasks show up highlighted in your practice view.

What happens after my free trial? ▼

After your 7-day trial you'll be prompted to choose a plan to continue. Your free trial includes 1 session per day for 7 days. Your progress and session history are preserved regardless of which plan you choose.

Is written exam prep included? ▼

Written exam prep with FAA-style multiple choice questions is coming soon and will be included in all paid plans at no extra cost when it launches.
