Every ACS. Every task. Every oral question your DPE is about to ask — and unlike every other study guide, it updates concurrently with FAA standards.
The FAA revises ACS documents regularly. When they do, every task, standard, and oral question on this site updates concurrently — expect within 24 hours of the official release.
When the FAA releases a new version of any ACS or PTS, our system detects revisions automatically by comparing the new and previous documents.
Every revision is organized by certificate type, ACS area, and task code. Revised knowledge elements, new risk management items, and updated skill standards are all flagged.
Affected content is rewritten to match the current standard — not last year's. You're always studying the version your DPE is actually holding.
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.
Your guide matches the exact same structure the DPE is legally required to use. Nothing irrelevant. Nothing missing. Nothing out of date.
Each ACS task has its own page — knowledge elements, risk management items, and practical skills structured around proven study methods, not FAA legalese.
DPE-written questions for every single task. Includes the curveballs and follow-up chains examiners use to test depth of understanding.
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.
The FAA publishes every ACS document for free. Your DPE is legally required to test you on it — task by task, word for word. Most pilots skim it once and hope for the best.
ACS Study Guide translates every task into plain English, adds the oral questions examiners actually ask, and keeps everything current the moment the FAA makes a change.
Knowing exactly what's on that list isn't a shortcut — it's just smart preparation.
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?
Join the waitlist. First 500 pilots get lifetime access at no cost. We'll notify you the moment we launch — and the moment the FAA updates anything affecting your rating.
No spam. No FAA-speak. Just the good stuff, when it matters.
