It's organized just so well! It follows the ACS perfectly.
This study guide was excellent. It made me feel very prepared for my Commercial checkride. The material goes deeper than I expected and is clearly and logically structured. It covered topics I didn’t even realize I was missing, and my DPE was genuinely impressed with my knowledge. A big added bonus is that the guide updates automatically, so the content always stays current.
I'm so glad these exist while going through my training, my DPE I've had for my instrument and commercial has said I'm almost over prepared, only really by using this guide and a little supplement with FAR/AIM. Really helpful tip: put the info from these guides into a repetition software like Anki or Noji (similar to Quizlet) and that really helped turn it from rote memory to more long term. Its much easier to go into a checkride when you feel solid on the oral portion! Good luck!
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
