PPL Prep: Private Pilot Exam
PPAER Practice Tests · Canada
Free · In-App Purchases
Canadian PPAER practice for the private pilot written exam: 678 questions, timed 100-question mocks, nav logs, loading sheets and METAR/TAF drills. Free to try, offline.
Practise for the Canadian private pilot licence (aeroplane) written exam, PPAER, with 678 original questions and timed 100-question mock exams across Air Law, Navigation, Meteorology and General Knowledge. Free to try, offline, no account: 50 practice answers, one full mock exam and the whole Library, then Full Access, a one-time purchase, unlocks the rest. Scored against the real rule: 60% overall AND 60% in each area.
678 ORIGINAL QUESTIONS, 63 TOPICS
Every question was written from public sources: the Canadian Aviation Regulations, the aeronautical information manual, the study and reference guide for the licence, and standard aeronautical theory. Each one carries a full explanation and a source reference, so a wrong answer teaches you something instead of just costing a mark.
EXAM-FAITHFUL MOCK EXAMS
100 questions sampled to the exam's four-area blueprint, a 3-hour countdown, flagging, a question palette, and no feedback until you submit — exactly like exam day. Results are scored by area and reported the way the examiner reports them: pass, partial pass with the areas to rewrite named, or fail. Your first full mock exam is free; more mock exams need Full Access, as do the four supplementary papers (Air Law, Navigation, Meteorology, General Knowledge), each with its own question count and time limit.
A NAV LOG GENERATOR, NOT ONE STALE EXAMPLE
Every session plans a brand-new VFR cross-country between real Canadian aerodromes — three legs, winds aloft, variation, true airspeed, fuel flow and a compass deviation card — and asks the questions computed from that log: magnetic heading, groundspeed, time en route, ETA, minimum fuel, compass heading and endurance. Fresh numbers every time: you learn the method, not the answers.
LOADING SHEETS, METARS AND TAFS
A weight-and-balance trainer generates a loaded four-seat trainer and asks for take-off weight, centre of gravity, whether it is inside the envelope, the landing CG and the weight-shift fix. A weather trainer generates coherent METAR and TAF pairs and asks you to decode them and decide whether the flight is VFR, special VFR or neither.
WORKED CALCULATION DRILLS
Generated density altitude, TAS, time-speed-distance, fuel, time zone, 1-in-60, crosswind, stall-speed and glide problems, each with the full working.
SPACED REVIEW THAT DOESN'T FORGET
Every answer is tracked. Missed questions come back on a spaced schedule until they stick, and the dashboard estimates your readiness against the pass mark by area and by topic, so the next study session chooses itself.
MUST-KNOW NUMBERS LIBRARY
One card per topic with the memorization core: VFR minima, fuel reserves, cruising altitudes, transponder codes, medical validity, ELT rules, METAR and TAF groups, V-speeds — each with its reference. Always free to read.
FREE TO TRY, ONE PRICE FOR EVERYTHING
Try it free: 50 practice answers in any mode (topics, Smart Review, trainers, drills), one full 100-question PPAER mock exam, and the whole Library. Full Access is one in-app purchase that unlocks unlimited practice and mock exams, the four supplementary papers and every trainer. One-time, no subscription, for your iPhone, iPad and Mac. If you downloaded PPL Prep before this version, everything stays free for you.
BUILT FOR STUDY, NOT FOR DATA
For iPhone and iPad on iOS 26 or later, laid out for the iPad rather than a stretched phone screen, plus a Mac version. With a keyboard, A–D or 1–4 choose, Return confirms, and the arrow keys move through a mock exam. Light and dark appearance. Studying works offline, and your progress follows you between your devices through your own iCloud account. No account to create, no advertising, no analytics and no data collection: the developer never sees your progress.
Written by a Class 3 flight instructor. Independent study aid — not affiliated with or endorsed by any regulator, and not a substitute for the current regulations and publications, which always take precedence.
Ratings & Reviews
YOUR PROGRESS ON EVERY DEVICE
Answers, your review schedule and mock exam results now come together on every iPhone, iPad and Mac signed in to your iCloud account. Nothing to set up: the switch is in Library › Sync. It runs on your own iCloud, so there is still no account to create, and the developer cannot see your progress. Each device keeps its own copy, so studying offline works as before and catches up when you are back online. With sync on, "Reset all progress" clears every device.
FREE TO TRY, ONE PRICE FOR EVERYTHING
PPL Prep is now free to try, with 50 practice answers, one full 100-question PPAER mock exam and the whole Library. A single one-time purchase, Full Access, unlocks unlimited practice, mock exams, the four supplementary papers and every trainer, with no subscription, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. The free answers and the free mock are shared by your synced devices. Have an offer code? Library › Full Access › Redeem a code.

SCORING THAT STAYS HONEST
A wrong answer on a topic you have not tried can no longer raise its estimate. Mock-exam questions you leave unanswered stay out of your study record. Pass and fail, the result text and the Home chip follow the exact score, never a rounded percentage, and a score below the pass mark never reads as the pass mark itself. The generated nav log, loading sheet and weather blocks in a mock paper can no longer be split up by another block.
