Frequently asked questions
Yes. The free tier gives you access to the PPL oral exam with up to 2 sessions per month — no credit card required. Sign up in seconds and start practicing immediately.
The DPE is powered by Claude, Anthropic's frontier AI model, with a detailed system prompt built from the FAA ACS standards for each certificate. It asks genuine follow-up questions, probes weak answers, and adapts to your responses — just like a real oral exam.
Student and above plans unlock all 8 certificates: Private Pilot (PPL), Instrument Rating (IR), Commercial SE, Commercial ME, ATP/CTP, CFI Initial, CFII, and MEI.
Yes. Cancel any time from the billing portal in your account menu. You keep access until the end of your billing period — no partial refunds, no surprises.
Subscriptions renew monthly and are best if you're actively training or instructing. One-time packages give you a fixed window of access with no recurring charge — great for students in the final stretch before a checkride.
No — and it's not meant to. CheckMate is a practice tool, not a ground school. Think of it as a sparring partner: you need to know the material first, then use CheckMate to sharpen how you present it under pressure.
Absolutely — that's what the Instructor plan is built for. Link students to your account, see their session history, and identify which ACS areas need more ground time before their checkride.
