Sport Pilot PTS process
Current post-MOSAIC terminology, Areas and Tasks, the plan of action, scenarios, oral evaluation, outcomes, single-seat testing, and discontinuance.
SPORT PILOT · FAA-S-8081-29B · POST-MOSAIC
Sport Pilot PTS practice
Study Sport Pilot separately from Private Pilot. Learn how the current practical test works, then practice the exact Airplane Single-Engine Land Tasks and tolerances in FAA-S-8081-29B.
Current source: FAA-S-8081-29B. Single-engine land questions only; seaplane and other category/class material is excluded.
TWO FOCUSED QUIZZES
Learn how the test works, then learn the standards you must meet
Sport Pilot ASEL standards
ASEL Areas I-X, including planning, airport operations, takeoffs, landings, maneuvers, navigation, stalls, emergencies, and postflight.
Why these are separate
The first bank teaches what an evaluator must cover, how oral questioning and scenarios work, what counts as satisfactory or unsatisfactory performance, and what happens when a test is discontinued. The second bank drills the actual single-engine-land Tasks, tolerances, required decisions, and performance standards. Keeping them separate makes a weak score useful: it tells you whether you misunderstand the test process or the flying standard itself.
Important naming distinction: Sport Pilot Airplane currently uses a Practical Test Standards document, not an ACS. FAA-S-8081-29B is the post-MOSAIC standard effective September 14, 2026; it replaces older “light-sport aircraft” wording with “aircraft” or aircraft meeting § 61.316 where appropriate.
