Sporty's Study Buddy prepares you for the FAA Sport Pilot knowledge test (the "written") with three ways to study: Study Questions, Flashcards and Practice Tests. Questions are organized by knowledge area, with explanations of the right and wrong answers developed by Sporty's team of Master CFIs, based on their experience preparing students for the Sport Pilot certificate.
• STUDY QUESTIONS BY TOPIC •
Choose whole knowledge areas or individual topics to build your own study session. As soon as you answer, you'll see the correct answer, why it's right, and where to read more. Change your answer anytime, bookmark questions as you go, and jump to any question from the question list. Every study session is shuffled.
• REVIEW WITH FLASHCARDS •
Flashcards show just the question, so you answer from memory before revealing the correct answer and its explanation. Mark each card Know It or Still Learning, then start a new session from the cards you're still learning. On iPhone Duo, study a card with the phone open and close it to check the answer.
• TAKE PRACTICE TESTS •
Each Practice Test draws 40 questions at random from the full question bank, gives you 2 hours, and is graded at the FAA's 70% passing score. Afterward, see your score by topic, review every question or only the ones you missed, and turn your misses into a new study session.
• PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF •
Sessions save as you go. The History tab lets you resume any session in progress and review past results, including your scores by topic.
• EVERY FIGURE, OFFLINE •
The Figures tab includes the complete FAA Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement, with every figure and legend listed by name and page. Swipe through the pages or open any one full screen. Questions show their figures right alongside, and you can study without a connection.
Designed for iPhone, iPhone Duo and iPad, with Dark Mode and support for larger text sizes.
The FAA does not publish its knowledge test questions, so the questions on your test won't necessarily appear in this app. Study Buddy is meant to complement your training, not to replace flight and ground instruction.
I liked this app. Did Kings class but didn’t take the knowledge test for six months. I used this as a test review. Learn some new things no covered in King. Redoing the questions I got wrong by the 3rd time I felt confident and got an 85 on my test
Great product

The Sportys app was the only app I used to study for my sport pilot test and prepared me well for the exam. I was skeptical with the low cost of this app but the interface was very user-friendly and the results are self-evident. Using only this app I received a 95% on my FAA test yesterday. Sport is delivers another quality app, would definitely recommend.
Poor quality

This app has several questions with zero context that make no sense. The quality is sub par and not worth the price. Half of the questions just expect you to finish a statement with zero context.
Poor quality control

I was answering flash card questions for only 10 minutes and already found 2 questions with answers that had no relation to the questions asked! I expect better from Sporty's. You're not getting just one star because it's a good interface.
Study Buddy 5.1 makes the most of iPhone Duo.
• Flashcards that fold: read the question on the outside, then open your phone to see the answer. Close it again to flip the card back.
• Open like a book, your cards are on the left and the current card on the right. Partly open, two-pane screens split evenly at the hinge.
• Controls in the side strip: Previous, Next, bookmarks, the question list and more sit in the strip beside the screen, leaving the display to your questions.
• Refined layouts for every way you hold iPhone Duo, closed or open.
• Also new: shuffled answers in every new session, better-balanced practice tests, and other improvements and fixes.
