Questions

Before you book

Is this the checkride?

No. It's practice with an FAA Advanced and Instrument Ground Instructor. It does not replace training or endorsements from your authorized instructor.

Can I cancel or reschedule?

Owner to set: reschedule window and cancellation terms. See the refund policy.

Do you guarantee a pass?

No one can. The session shows you where your answers are strong and where they need work, while there's still time to fix them.
