FAA PRIVATE PILOT · CHECKRIDE PREP
Walk into your checkride
already
knowing
what the
DPE will ask.
One in four private pilots fail their checkride — almost always in the oral. CLEARED is the fill-in
workbook that turns the FAA ACS into the exact scenario questions examiners really ask, so you walk in ready instead of hoping.

WHY IT WORKS
Not a book you
read. A book you do.
You remember what you practice, not what you skim. So CLEARED makes you
write the answers, run the scenarios out loud, and mark up a real sectional — the
same way the DPE will make you.
✍️
You fill it in
Write-in answers, your aircraft's numbers, your examiner's habits.
Doing beats reading — it sticks.
🗺️
Scenarios, not flashcards
Questions in the DPE's real words,
plus mark-up-the-sectional exercises
— exactly how you'll be asked.
🛟
The whole ride, in order
Paperwork, weak-spot self-scoring,
the DPE-wait plan, and what happens
if you don't pass. Nothing left to
dread.
It's built on the six proven ways memory forms — five on every page of the workbook, and the sixth (spacing it out) in the free daily countdown. It works because the science says it does.
WHY ALULA SKY
"The path through aviation is
scattered and lonely. We lay it out —
one checkride, one rating, one pilot at a
time."
An alula is the small wing feather that keeps a bird in control at low speed, right when it matters most. That's the idea behind everything here: steadying help exactly when the stakes are highest.
The checkride workbook is step one. Instrument, commercial, and a wider world of aviation come next.
CLEARED FOR THE RIDE
You can't choose your examiner. You can choose to walk in ready.
