Commercial Check ride Study Guide

This study guide is awesome! I'm getting to finish Commerical and this study guide helped me feel more comfortable with systems and aerodynamics:)

When I first started preparing for my commercial checkride, I felt overwhelmed by how scattered all the information was. I kept jumping between videos, notes, and random resources, hoping something would finally make everything “click.” Then I found Ava Almquist’s website, Airlines on Autopilot, and honestly… it was exactly the breath of fresh air I needed.
What makes the site so special is the way Ava breaks things down. It never feels like she’s just throwing information at you—she explains everything in a way that feels friendly, clear, and genuinely supportive. You can tell she remembers what it’s like to be a student pilot trying to juggle a million concepts at once. The whole site feels like it was built with kindness and intention.
The layout is clean, the topics are organized in a way that actually makes sense, and the explanations go beyond “here’s the answer”—they help you truly understand the why behind it. I found myself returning to the same pages not because I didn’t get it, but because it felt like having a calm instructor walk me through things again.
What really surprised me, though, was how much confidence it gave me. As I worked through the material on the site, I started feeling less like I was cramming and more like I was genuinely preparing. By the time my checkride comes around, I will feel steady and capable instead of anxious and scattered.
If you’re studying for your commercial certificate and want a resource that feels human, encouraging, and thoughtfully designed, I can’t recommend Airlines on Autopilot enough. Ava Almquist has created something truly helpful, and I’m really grateful I found it when I did

Very helpful, would be nice if there was an answer key to check my answers! Thank you!

This study guide has been an excellent resource in preparing for my Commercial Pilot rating. It’s well-organized, easy to follow, and covers every key topic in detail. Highly recommend it to any pilot working toward their commercial certificate

I ordered this after I was quickly and very nicely responded to! I have my commercial checkride in a couple weeks and I feel more ready than I have ever felt during this entire phase. This study guide has given me everything I need to know in simple and clear answers and they are asked with a question that I have heard from my mock checkride and practice oral exams with my instructor. I would recommend this to anyone. She has taken time out of her day to do this for the community and I for one greatly appreciate it. Invest in your future if you really want this career like me! Thank you again for making these study guides!
