Complete preparation for your Private Pilot checkride oral and practical exam.
Book Prep Session →Master IFR knowledge and procedures for your Instrument Rating checkride.
Book Prep Session →Develop teaching skills and prepare for the demanding CFI checkride.
Book Prep Session →Your home flight simulator can be a powerful tool for checkride preparation. While simulator time doesn't count toward your certificate requirements, practicing procedures in your sim builds the muscle memory and confidence you need for checkride day.
Our instructors use screen sharing via Zoom to coach you through scenarios in X-Plane, Microsoft Flight Simulator, or Prepar3D. This checkride preparation flight simulator approach lets you practice unlimited approaches, emergency procedures, and cross-country navigation without burning avgas.

We recommend:
Checkride prep is personalized preparation for your FAA practical test (checkride). It includes mock oral exams, cross-country flight planning review, and practice of ACS knowledge areas with a certified flight instructor. Our instructors help you identify and address weak areas before your actual checkride.
Yes! Home flight simulators like X-Plane 12 and Microsoft Flight Simulator are excellent tools for checkride preparation. Our instructors use screen sharing to coach you through procedures, instrument approaches, and emergency scenarios in your simulator. While sim time doesn't count as flight hours, it builds muscle memory and procedural knowledge.
We meet via Zoom where you can screen share your EFB (ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot) or flight simulator. The instructor conducts mock oral exams, reviews your cross-country planning, and addresses your specific weak areas based on the Airman Certification Standards (ACS). Sessions are available in 1-hour or 2-hour blocks.
All ReadyRoger instructors are active airline pilots with CFI ratings. They fly for major US carriers and bring real-world experience to every session, helping you prepare for questions DPEs commonly ask. Multiple instructors maintain 100% checkride pass rates.
We provide preparation for Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot, and Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) checkrides. Each session is tailored to the specific Airman Certification Standards (ACS) for your certificate or rating.
Sessions are priced at $90 for 1 hour. Most students find that 2-4 hours of preparation is sufficient to feel confident for their checkride, depending on their experience level and specific areas needing work.
We recommend starting checkride prep 1-2 weeks before your scheduled practical test. This gives you time to identify weak areas and study them before the checkride. However, many students benefit from earlier preparation, especially for complex topics like weather theory or regulations.
You need a computer with Zoom and a stable internet connection. We recommend having your Electronic Flight Bag (ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot) ready to screen share. If you have a home flight simulator, you can share that screen for procedural practice.
Don't leave your checkride success to chance. Train with instructors who know what examiners expect and how to help you present your knowledge clearly and confidently.
