Checkrides are stressful.
Hours of prep, a complicated ACS packet, and the pressure of knowing one wrong answer could mean a retest. It’s no wonder even the most prepared students feel nervous heading into their big day.
But they don’t have to be.
That’s where I come in. For just $100, you’ll sit down for a mock oral exam that mirrors what a DPE will throw your way. Two hours of real examiner-style questions, followed by a debrief where I’ll break down your strengths and the areas to tighten up. You’ll also walk away knowing exactly what to study to be ready before test day.
Instead of walking into the unknown, you’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a roadmap to passing on the first try.
What our $100 mock exam includes:
Our signature service and the ultimate way to prepare for any checkride. Whether you’re going for your Private Pilot, Instrument, Commercial, or even CFI, this two-hour mock oral is modeled directly from the FAA Airman Certification Standards (ACS).
What’s Included:
10 minutes – Introductions & Setup
Get comfortable, settle in, and understand how the session will flow.
2 hours – Full Oral Exam Simulation
A realistic, examiner-style oral that challenges your knowledge and reasoning across the ACS. Expect the same depth, structure, and pacing you’ll encounter with a DPE.
20 minutes – Debrief & Feedback
We’ll walk through your performance, highlight strengths, and identify areas for improvement. You’ll leave with a written copy of my notes on the exam rubric — a clear study roadmap for your final prep.
Note: To stay within the two-hour time constraint, this mock oral does not include a full cross-country scenario. We will only briefly touch on ACS tasks related to cross-country planning. Please see the Cross-Country Scenario Add-On below.

$50 Cross-Country Scenario
This is 1 hour add-on that deep dives on ACS tasks related to the cross-country portion. We will discuss flight planning, navigation, and decision-making as if you were in front of a DPE. You’ll get practical questions tied to aerodynamics, route selection, performance calculations, and “what-if” scenarios you’re likely to face on test day.
It’s the perfect companion to our $100 mock oral, giving you the complete checkride rehearsal from start to finish.
$100 Knowledge Test Deficiency Review with Endorsement
Struggling with areas flagged on your FAA written exam? We’ll dive deep into your Knowledge Test Report and tackle those weak spots head-on.
This session reviews each missed subject area, explains the “why” behind the answers, and connects the concepts back to real-world flying. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your weak areas, targeted study strategies, and the confidence to handle those topics when they come up in your oral exam.
It’s the smartest way to turn your knowledge test mistakes into checkride strengths.
Meet your Designated Practice Examineer
After nine years working as an engineer, I discovered my true passion: aviation. While working full time, I grinded from Private Pilot all the way to CFII, learning firsthand the pressure and stress that comes with preparing for each checkride.
My mission is simple, to help you feel confident and prepared for the big day. Many instructors rush or gloss over key areas during ground instruction, leaving students unprepared for the depth of questioning they’ll face. You won’t see that in my mock checkride. I design each mock oral exam to target areas that DPEs often emphasize, so nothing catches you off guard on test day.
Because I know flying is already expensive, I created $100MC to make high-quality checkride prep affordable. After one mock exam with me, I’m confident you’ll see the value and come back for every rating that follows.
