// FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free trial?
Yes — and it's genuinely free. Every new account gets a 7-day free trial with 3 full practice exams, no credit card required. The free trial and the free tier are the same thing: full voice mode, AI assessment, and progress tracking, with nothing to enter up front. Upgrade to a paid plan whenever you want unlimited exams.
Can I cancel anytime?
Absolutely. Cancel from your Settings page with one click. You'll retain full access until the end of your current billing period. No cancellation fees, no hassle.
What ratings are supported?
We support Private Pilot (FAA-S-ACS-6C), Commercial Pilot (FAA-S-ACS-7B), and Instrument Rating (FAA-S-ACS-8C) — 143+ ACS tasks total. ATP is coming soon.
How does voice mode work?
Voice mode lets you speak your answers naturally, just like a real oral exam. The AI examiner responds with a realistic DPE voice. It works across modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox) on desktop and tablet — voice is included on every plan, including the free trial.
Do I get another free trial when I subscribe?
No — the free trial happens up front, before you ever enter a card. When you upgrade to a paid plan, your first month (or year) is billed immediately and your access continues uninterrupted. You can cancel anytime from Settings.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards via Stripe. Your payment information is securely processed by Stripe and never stored on our servers.
