Everything You Need to Know to Ace Your ACS Commercial Pilot Checkride
 
What Your "Checkride" Will Be Like
 
Your Practical Test, commonly referred to as your checkride, consists of two parts:
 
  • An oral exam conducted before you go flying
  • An in-flight test in which you demonstrate your skills in the aircraft
 
Oral Portion...
 
On the oral portion of your test you will be required to demonstrate your aviation knowledge, including subjects like regulations, aeromedical factors, aircraft systems, meteorology, and airspace.
 
It is during the oral that you will be required to demonstrate your flight planning, including the performance and weight & balance under actual conditions, the effects of the weather on your flight and your navigation and flight log.
 
Flight Portion...
 
On the flight portion of the Commercial Practical Test you will be expected to demonstrate that you are truly ready to be Pilot-in-Command. In addition to demonstrating your piloting proficiency with the required maneuvers, you will be expected to demonstrate good risk management—including situational awareness, collision avoidance, cockpit resource management and the appropriate use of checklists.

Our Commercial Pilot Practical Test Course Is Unique
 
No other course does for you what our practical test course does. We take you along on a simulated test with a real FAA examiner for both the oral exam and the flight test.

We give you a model performance with loads of in-flight footage that puts you in the cockpit as we show you just how you should demonstrate each maneuver.

We even shoot from multiple camera angles so you can see clearly what is going on inside and outside the airplane.

When you go in for your own FAA Commercial Pilot Practical Test, you will be confident because you will have been there before!
 
  • You'll enjoy lifetime course access and free course updates
  • Take your course on any mobile device or computer
 
Here's Why We Can Guarantee You'll Pass
 
  • Go from handshake to handshake with an actual FAA examiner. Your course covers everything you need to know
  • Learn what your examiner wants to hear and how to say it
  • See the flight maneuvers you need to know with stunning in-flight footage and cockpit demonstrations
  • Along with your thorough video preparation, you’ll get the Airmen Certification Standards—which gives you the checklists you’ll need and outlines precisely what your FAA examiner expects you to be ready to perform and/or explain
  • You’ll pass on your first attempt—or your money back
 
(Tip ... we recommend that you begin learning what you need for your Commercial Flight Test & Oral Exam early in your flight training. It will make you more prepared and will probably even shorten the amount of time you'll need to master each maneuver.)

King Schools is Top Notch
I've used King Schools test prep material since getting my private pilot certificate many, many years ago.  I love the teaching methods and I really enjoy John and Martha!

Must have
Excellent course.  Seeing the flow of the exam, the explanations and the feedback was incredibly helpful.
Michael K. 09/30/2024
Commercial Pilot Practical Test (Checkride) Prep
Course Completion Review
The commercial course material is well laid out but needs to be reviewed against the new ACS standards.  I would recommend looking at a company that states they modified material in 2024 to accommodate the new testing standard.  I was able to pass the exam but will require additional time with DPE on missed areas.  I am sure if I took the exam prior to the changes, I would have scored in the high 90's.
