About the Sport test

The Sport Pilot knowledge test is a computer-based, multiple-choice test administered by the FAA that evaluates your understanding of aviation regulations, safety, and flight theory.

You take it if you are pursuing a Sport Pilot certificate to fly Light-Sport Aircraft. Depending on your training, that can include airplanes, gliders, gyroplanes, powered parachutes, weight-shift-control aircraft (trikes), and lighter-than-air balloons or airships.

The Sport Pilot knowledge test has 40 questions and requires 70% to pass, which is 28 correct. It is a computer-based test given at a PSI test center for a $175 fee. You must pass with 70% or higher before taking the practical test (checkride) or oral and practical for your certificate.

Aviator IQ's bank for this test holds 600 practice questions across 16 categories, each grounded in Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge. Every question shows an explanation and cites the section it comes from, so a wrong answer teaches the rule rather than just marking you down.

A passing knowledge-test result is one requirement. A certificated instructor still endorses you, and the practical test or checkride is separate. Aviator IQ prepares the knowledge test so that step is behind you.

Common questions about the Sport Pilot Test

The Sport Pilot knowledge test has 40 questions and is delivered on a computer at a PSI testing center. The passing score is 70%, which means you need 28 correct. Our bank holds 600 practice questions across 16 subject categories, so you can drill well past the length of a single sitting.

A sitting at a PSI testing center runs about $175, and if you do not pass you pay that fee again for each retake. Aviator IQ Pro is $29 paid once, so the goal is to walk in ready and clear the 70% mark on the first attempt.

Every question is written from Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge and the other FAA source documents for this certificate. Each one carries a verbatim quote from the source, and that quote is checked against the document before the question ships, so a wrong answer teaches the rule rather than just marking you down. When the FAA reissues a handbook, the questions that cite it are pulled for review.

No. Aviator IQ is test preparation only and is not affiliated with the FAA. Under 14 CFR § 61.35 the authorization to take the official knowledge test comes from a certificated instructor or an approved course, not from a prep tool. The knowledge test is also only one requirement: the practical test or checkride is separate.

No. Pro is $29 paid one time and never renews. It unlocks every subject category, all practice runs, the full-length exam simulator, hints, and the readiness score. There is no monthly or annual charge.
