Walk into your checkride already knowing what it feels like.

Avora is a virtual checkride experience. An AI examiner questions you the way a real DPE would, one question at a time, then grades your answers against the ACS and shows you what to study next.

Every answer comes from FAA sources, and none of it is gamified.

You mentioned the TAF. What's its valid period, and how does it factor into whether you need to file an alternate?
A TAF is usually valid for 24 or 30 hours and covers the area within 5 SM of the airport…

The oral is the hard part

You can study every handbook and still have no idea how the conversation will go.

The oral is a conversation with an examiner who follows up, digs deeper, and expects you to think out loud. No written test prepares you for that. Avora lets you rehearse the real thing as many times as you need before it counts.

How it works

Practice, get debriefed, then study what actually needs work.

01

Practice the oral

Pick a task, an area, or a full mock exam. The examiner asks one question at a time, and you answer by voice or by typing. Scoring stays silent until the end, just like the real thing.

02

Get an honest debrief

You get element-by-element results against the ACS, with the codes, plain labels, and the FAA references to go review. There is no vanity score, just an honest read on where you stand.

03

Know what to study next

Every session updates your readiness map and study plan, so the next one goes after your weakest areas first.

The debrief

Your results, scored against the ACS.

ACS codes appear here for the first time, never during the exam. Each element is marked Satisfactory, Marginal, or Unsatisfactory, in both color and words, with the FAA references you should go review. The results feed straight into your readiness map.

Everything in the app

Built around how examiners actually test you.

Practice oral sessions

Run one task, one area, a full mock, or a drill built from your weak codes. Set the examiner to gentle, realistic, or tough.

ACS-scored debriefs

Grading for every element you covered, with strengths, gaps, and the FAA references to study.

The ACS library

Every area, task, and element for your rating, searchable by code (PA.I.C, for example).

Unlimited flashcards

Cards weight themselves toward your weakest codes. Unlimited on every plan, with no streaks and no confetti.

Ask the instructor

Ask ground-school questions and get answers built from FAA sources, with the source named every time.

Written-code targeting

Enter the codes you missed on your written and the examiner retests them, the same way a real DPE would.

Why you can trust it

Straight answers from real FAA sources.

FAA sources only

Answers come from the ACS, the regulations, the AIM, and the FAA handbooks, not from third-party question banks. You always see the citation.

Honest about being AI

Every score and answer carries a reminder that AI can be wrong and that your CFI has the final word. We never pretend to be the FAA.

Transparent in beta

We show how much of the catalog has been validated so far, so you know what's finished and what's still being built.

For CFIs

Free instructor accounts. See your students' readiness without ever seeing their transcripts.

Students link to you with a code. You see a readiness map, ranked weaknesses with the source of each signal, and debrief summaries. The exam conversations themselves stay private. From there you can generate an ACS-anchored ground syllabus from their weakest areas in one click.

  • Student roster with readiness, top weak area, and checkride flags
  • Rules-based syllabus generator you can edit, version, and print
  • Reusable lesson library anchored to ACS tasks
  • Printable instructor log for final reviews

CFI accounts are always free. No AI features, just the tools.

FAQ

The questions we hear most.

When does Avora launch?
We're in beta and preparing the App Store release for iPhone and iPad. Join the waitlist when it opens and we'll email you the moment it's live.
Which ratings are supported?
Avora starts with the full Private Pilot Airplane ACS (FAA-S-ACS-6). Instrument and additional ratings follow after launch.
Where do the answers come from?
Everything comes from FAA sources: the ACS, the FAR/AIM, the Airplane Flying and Aviation Weather handbooks, PHAK, the Risk Management Handbook, and FAA advisory circulars. The source is named every time. Practice tasks map to ACS codes like PA.I.C. It's an AI study aid, so verify anything surprising with your CFI.
Is this an FAA product?
No. Avora is a study aid, not flight instruction, and is not affiliated with the FAA. Scores are AI-assessed practice metrics and don't predict checkride outcomes.
What does it cost?
We're still finalizing pricing with our beta pilots and will publish it at launch. Flashcards are unlimited on every plan, and CFI accounts are free.

Be ready before you walk in.

Avora is coming to iPhone and iPad. Practice the oral, get a straight debrief, and know what to study next.
