Hey guys sorry about the random blue blotches on the screen 😂Its just the way it was recorded I promise that does not happen on the test prep guide. Thank you!
Hi, question. If I only sign up for Gleim and not a ground school, how do I get an instructor endorsement to take the exam? I thought that was the most important part of ground school, the ability to get an instructor endorsement.
@@markgutierrez2024 I did this through college program and had an endorsement from the aviation program director if we had an 84% on all unit tests. Gleim ground school does give an endorsement however the FAA test prep online didnt for us, youd still need an instructor signoff in that case. Thanks for asking! 😁
Dude your videos are so awesome and informative, I cant believe you only have 500 subs. I subscribed on both my YT channels keep uploading bro. it doesn't even have to be vids like this it would be cool if you recorded some flights and just talked about interesting stuff you're learning. I'm doing part 61 independently and its cool to see another student/pilots perspective on all of that stuff, especially since you're taking such a different route than me.
Thanks a lot! I wish I could record my flights, it was a big idea and dream I had for my channel but my flight school never allowed it. I really want to make easy IFR ground knowledge videos.
Gleim is the software and studying material given to me by my flight school and i made sure I used it daily. I took all the test over and over. One huge tip make sure you don’t just memorize it but you understand why. I did this and got a 97% on my PPL written exam. It’s great
Its very helpful for the PAR test. If you're planning on commercial next supplement it with kings or sheppard air, you'll do extremely well combining them.
Hey all, little disclaimer about what to do when you get to your testing center. So each place actually has their own policies with what you can and what you cant have on you taking your test. I STRONGLY advise to take your test at an airport testing center if there's one available within reason. I took my IFR written 3 weeks ago at an airport an hour away from me but it was a much easier experience with wait time, checking in, and less strict security measures. There is usually nobody taking a different test than you so you don't need to wait for a spot as long as if you went to a general testing center. Do not sweat these tests. If you follow my strategy you cant get lower than a 70%. If you do not want to pay for a test prep guide, you still have free FAA books but I still highly recommend reading the private pilot testing supplement and be familiar with the figures and know what they mean. Everything that will appear on the test is in the testing supplement book which is also provided for free online.
@@AC_Twig Good job! Now that your test is done and out of the way you can gear towards the finish line more! Also study anything you missed on the test! It shouldve come with your report of ACS codes. I mentioned that in my oral exam preparation video.
Quite a bit of information on the written test. Now that im a CPL it seems so miniscule but I remember doing my private and realizing how much it is at first. I recommend it. Plus this will help with checkride prep too.
Gorgeous vlog. Will the questions on the real exam PSI be worded similarly to the practice questions on Gleim? Or Will the real exam questions just test off the content of Gleims practice questions? Thank you for your vlog.
You could use this because its universal knowledge among all pilots. But Im not sure how their testing works. So dive into the books more at that point.
Yes and ASA has their own tool to help too. Ive had a lot of questions about sportys and yes I do recommend it. When you get to commercial or IFR though, supplement gleim with sheppard air or pilots cafe.
Is sporty's practice written Exam good source too use as well? And also are you allowed to use the Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement for Sport Pilot, Recreational Pilot, Remote during the test?
Ive heard very good reviews about sportys! you can check it out if you'd like. Also the testing center should give you the testing supplement. Gleim uses charts and diagrams directly from the testing supplement. So if you don't plan on using Gleim, I recommend reviewing it and its provided online for free.
I used Sportys and also got 95% on the written. I failed Sportys practice test a day before the written. 😂 they give you the 60 hardest questions! For a few days I studied all of Sportys practice questions and reviewed why the answer is correct. Many questions are duplicated or very similar. Once you get used to the quirky way the FAA writes the questions it's alot easier. Sportys recommends getting 80%+ on two practice tests and that's a good idea. There were only a few questions on the written that I hadn't seen before. The majority were very easy questions with really obvious answers. I was laughing through most of the test. I was done in 30 minutes. Also you can flag or skip a question to come back to later and also review all of your questions and answers.
I prefer online but the physical version gleim offers works. Having it online just seems easier plus they have a simulated version of what the test will ACTUALLY look like!
I read you can use the electric E6B flight computer during the exam. Do you know this to be true? BTW, great videos bro. I bought a few of the books you recommended from your other videos.
Yes you can bring in an electronic E6B. I used the Sporty's version on my exam. There's a small instruction card that comes with it, leave it at home or in your car as it's not allowed. You can also bring in what ever plotter you prefer. I used one from ASA.
When you register for the test they tell you what you can and cannot bring into the testing facility. You can bring an E6B, plotter and that's about it. They provided those items at my facility as well as scratch paper, pencils, marker and plastic overlay. Make sure you have fresh batteries in your E6B. Mine died an hour before the test while I was already at the airport. The FBO had batteries. I never turned on my E6B during the test. 😂
Whatever worked for you may also work for anyone else! In fact I honestly think anyone can get by with the material the FAA and ASA provide. This is just the way we did it for class and worked very well for this level!
I mean when you're done learning the material related to the questions, I don't see a real issue with it. There's a lot of systems, weather and federal regulation related questions so when you practice the questions its almost just as similar as if you were reading it from a book or video. For the questions with the charts, look into them further. Especially because of how micro precise you have to be for them.
Do both. Use Sporty’s video ground school and question bank for private pilot written, and Sheppard Air, which is basically rote memorization for every written after that. Once you pass the written, use something like Sporty’s ground school to actually learn the material, which you’ll need to do to pass the checkrides.

Nice job! Your checkride will be chill at this point.
Were the questions and answers the same as the practice bank in Gleim? I remember years ago on a written, it was word for word the same.
Nice job and great tips. It’s always about studying smarter or taking good notes !
dude im so happy i stumbled apon your video and so happy this software is out there!!!!!
Its very helpful for the PAR test. If you're planning on commercial next supplement it with kings or sheppard air, you'll do extremely well combining them.
I passed my checkride! This information definitely helped
That is amazing dude! Congratulations and have fun being a pilot. Go to your dream airport and get the $100 burger 🎉
@@kevw172100 burger?! Lmao I have never heard of this?
@@martinjimenez7392 100$ to fly out to an airport and go to the airport restaurant. I plan on that this summer!
@@martinjimenez7392I've kept hearing about the $300 burger. Lol. I asked too, it's a regular burger plus the cost of flying there and back.

This video is very helpful thank you! For instrument exam's ive been told to use Sheppard air software as its word for word on the test questions.
Yes! Honestly I took my CAX in May and I wouldve failed if I didnt use sheppard. Im using it for my IRA currently but Gleim is excellent for private!
@@kevw172 just wanna say I passed thanks to your tips, thank you a lot for the clarity on what to focus on and what to not worry ab.

Starting IFR in 2 weeks and ive been working on commercial for a while now. Thank you!
Great video bro ..very helpful. I really appreciate it!
Nice video man!
So is ground school still necessary?
Quite a bit of information on the written test. Now that im a CPL it seems so miniscule but I remember doing my private and realizing how much it is at first. I recommend it. Plus this will help with checkride prep too.
Thanks for the heads up bro it's really nice to know the preparations required on the test
Not much to it! Really easy if you know the basics.
thank you brother
This is helpful. Thank you!
Congrats bro! Have fun up there and fly safe.
I passed the rest of my exams except for instructor!
Thanks
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Kev, u r a Savage !

Thank you for your vlog.
Theyre the same 😅
love this man, I was wondering if I would be able to use this software in Canada. Are the regulations that much different where you dont recommend it
You could use this because its universal knowledge among all pilots. But Im not sure how their testing works. So dive into the books more at that point.
Great vid. Are you familiar with sportys test prep? How does it compare would you say to Gleim
Highly recommend. I think you can get by with that too.
biggest ithink is cost...
Sportys only like $18.
ithink this Gleim sw is $80 ?
not sure but big diff
how bout Sporty's Study Buddy app ? think cost like $17 do uknow it ? think good ? help?
any Free aps help do Written for Ppl ?
great vid Goodluck
Yes and ASA has their own tool to help too. Ive had a lot of questions about sportys and yes I do recommend it. When you get to commercial or IFR though, supplement gleim with sheppard air or pilots cafe.

I used the hard copy book and worked great. Easier to flip back and forth between questions and explanations/answers. Got a 97% on my written.
@@romoeas Well done 🎉 Job well done

I scored 100% 45 years ago!
if this is true what was it like taking the test then?
@kevw172 good question. Honestly I can't remember. What I was accutlty aware of was the consequences of NOT knowing.
So your saying instead of actually learning the material, to just memorize the questions?
I mean when you're done learning the material related to the questions, I don't see a real issue with it.

I recommend buying gleim and memorizing every question I got 100%

I didn’t get any weight and balance questions on my written, but it’s random so make sure you study them just in case.
