FAA Written Test

The FAA written test is one of the most important steps in earning your pilot certificate. Before you can fly solo or advance to your checkride, you must pass this knowledge exam. It proves that you understand key topics such as weather, navigation, airspace, flight planning, and FAA regulations.
