Checkride Prep

Your preparation culminates in a comprehensive end-of-course mock checkride conducted by a senior instructor with extensive evaluating experience in the training environment. This realistic simulation parallels the structure and standards of an actual FAA practical test.

You’ll be assessed to examiner-level expectations, receive direct, candid feedback, and identify any areas needing refinement before checkride day. The goal is not only to ensure you’re fully prepared to pass, but to strengthen your decision-making, professionalism, and safety mindset for the rest of your flying career.

Before you meet the FAA examiner, your senior flight instructory conducts a detailed audit of your logbook and a comprehensive review of your IACRA application to ensure everything is accurate, complete, and fully compliant – eliminating surprises on checkride day.

We also carefully review your IACRA submission for accuracy and consistency so your paperwork reflects your training correctly and meets current FAA standards. This meticulous process protects you from administrative delays and ensures you walk into your Checkride confident that both your flying skills and your documentation are examiner-ready.

Serving pilots in the Denver metro area as well as all of Colorado, our checkride preparation program is offered at a base price of $450 and includes a three-hour minimum commitment with one of our senior instructors. Additional time, if needed, is billed at $150 per hour to help ensure you are fully prepared. This is more than a fee – it’s an investment in significantly increasing your likelihood of passing your FAA checkride on the first attempt.

A thorough evaluation beforehand can help you avoid the far greater expense of a retest, additional flight time/costs, examiner fees, and the added training time that can delay your certification. As a trusted Denver flight school, Simply Aviation’s Checkride Prep protects both your schedule and your wallet – all while positioning you for long-term success as a safe, professional pilot.

We offer checkride preparation in person at our Broomfield and Centennial, Colorado locations, serving the greater Denver area. Alternatively, pilots can choose virtual sessions for the convenience of remote instruction. Regardless of format, you will receive the same comprehensive preparation, including logbook audit, IACRA review, oral exam preparation, and structured mock checkride evaluation.

Every session is conducted by a senior instructor and held to examiner-level standards. Our goal is to provide flexible, high-quality Checkride Prep that fits your schedule while delivering the same thorough, professional preparation in every setting.
