The Instrument Rating is the hardest written test most pilots ever take — and the one where shortcuts cost the most. Approach plates, holding entries, minimums, alternates: this is material you will use on a bad-weather day, with a controller waiting for your answer. Getting it right on paper is the rehearsal.

AirTest Pro covers the whole instrument syllabus the way your CFII teaches it: every answer explained and linked to its FAA source, chart and plate questions worked through step by step, and updates every 2 weeks so the procedures you study are the procedures currently published.

On an instrument approach there is no partial credit. The written test is where you learn to be exact.

Instrument students fail for one of two reasons: they memorize answers without understanding the procedure, or they never get comfortable reading charts under time pressure. Both are fixable — and both are what this course drills, question after question, until the reasoning becomes automatic.

Built for the hardest written

The instrument bank is large, procedural, and unforgiving. We treat it that way:

  • Chart and approach plate questions worked through, not just answered.
  • Updated every 2 weeks as procedures and minimums change.
  • Certified instructors on call when a procedure won't click.
