// 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.
