The gap

The oral is the hardest part to practice.

You can log the hours and pass the written, but the oral is a conversation — and that's the part most students never get to rehearse realistically.

01

Oral prep feels vague

There's no syllabus for the conversation. You study hard but never quite know if you're ready for the back-and-forth.

02

You don't know what they'll ask

Every DPE is different. Without reps, the first real oral-style question often comes on checkride day.

03

Flashcards aren't a real oral

Chair flying and decks help you memorize — but they don't make you defend an answer or follow a scenario the way an examiner does.

Cleared closes that gap. Structured, adaptive practice that feels like a real oral — so the first time you defend an answer isn't on checkride day.

Flight plan

How Cleared works

Train like you're sitting across from an examiner, then turn every session into a focused study plan.

  1. 1

    Practice with AI Examiner Mode

    Sit across from an AI examiner that asks checkride-style oral questions, follows up on your answers, and adapts as you go.

  2. 2

    Study by ACS area

    Drill specific Airman Certification Standards areas — regulations, weather, airspace, systems — and watch your readiness by topic.

  3. 3

    Review detailed debriefs

    After every session, get a question-by-question breakdown of what was strong, what was missing, and exactly what to tighten up.

  4. 4

    Aircraft-specific prep with POH upload

    Beta

    Upload your aircraft's POH — or set up your aircraft profile — for questions tuned to your real V-speeds, systems, and limitations.

Inside a session

A real oral, then a debrief that tells you what to fix.

The examiner asks, follows up, and cites its sources. When you're done, every answer is scored against the ACS area it belongs to.

You're planning to enter Class C airspace. What equipment and communication do you need established before you cross the boundary?

Solid on the equipment — Mode C and two-way radio. One gap: calling approach isn't enough. ATC has to respond with your callsign — two-way communication established — before you cross the boundary.

What it is

Built to support your training — not replace it.

Cleared is a practice tool. Here's what that means, plainly.

Built around the FAA ACS

Sessions and progress map to Airman Certification Standards areas, so your practice mirrors how the checkride is actually structured.

Designed for student pilots

Made for the realities of primary training — clear language, focused reps, and feedback you can act on before your ride.

Supports your CFI — doesn't replace them

Cleared is a study and training tool. Your certificated flight instructor and official FAA materials remain the source of truth.

Cleared is not an official FAA evaluator or DPE, is not FAA-approved, and does not guarantee any checkride result. Always defer to your certificated flight instructor and current official FAA materials.

Stars & Stripes · Private beta
