01
FAA publishes a revision

When the FAA releases a new version of any ACS or PTS, our system detects it automatically by comparing the new and previous documents diff by diff.

02
Changes are mapped to task codes

Every revision is triaged by certificate type, ACS area, and task code. Revised knowledge elements, new risk management items, and changed skill standards are all flagged.

03
Cheat sheets and Q&A update

Affected content is rewritten to match the current standard — not last year's. You're always studying the version your DPE is actually holding in their hands.

04
You get notified immediately

If an update hits your ACS while you're actively preparing for a checkride, we notify you with exactly which tasks changed — no surprises on checkride day, ever.

How It Works
The ACS Is The Test.
We Reverse-Engineered It.
01
Pick your certificate or rating

Your guide matches the exact same structure the DPE is legally required to use. Nothing irrelevant. Nothing missing. Nothing out of date.

02
Study task by task with cheat sheets

Each ACS task has its own page — knowledge elements, risk management items, and practical skills written in plain language, not FAA legalese.

03
Run the oral before the oral

DPE-written questions for every single task. Includes the curveballs and follow-up chains examiners use to test depth of understanding.

04
Walk in, pass, fly home.

You're not guessing what the examiner cares about. You know. There's a big difference between studying and being prepared. This is the second one.

On The Name
It's Not About
Cheating.
It's About Winning.

Yes, the name is designed to make you do a double-take. That's on purpose. Because most pilots walk into their checkride having skimmed the ACS once and hoping for the best.

We think that's backwards. The ACS is a public document. The DPE is legally required to test you on it. Knowing exactly what's on that list isn't cheating — it's just smart preparation.

Your checkride never stood a chance. That's the whole point.

The DPE has the ACS in front of them the entire time. Why would you walk in there without having studied the exact same document, word for word?
