Frequently Asked Questions
Where do the questions come from?

All questions are sourced from the FAA Aviation Instructor's Handbook 2020 and cross-referenced with the CASA Part 61 Manual of Standards syllabus. Every question is manually reviewed for accuracy and relevance to the PIRC exam.

Is this a monthly subscription?

No. PIRCmate is a one-time payment of $29. Pay once and keep access for as long as you need it.

What do I get with a free account?

Free accounts get full access to the Effective Communication topic in study mode. No credit card required. Upgrade any time to unlock all nine topics and all three study modes.

Is PIRCmate all I need to pass the PIRC?

Honestly, probably not on its own. There is no substitute for working through the source material yourself. What PIRCmate does is help you drill the core concepts, identify the gaps in your knowledge, and walk into the exam room feeling prepared. Think of it as the final layer on top of your instructor training, your course notes, and your own reading. Not a replacement for any of it.

How does the practice queue work?

When you answer a question incorrectly in Study or Exam mode, it automatically goes into your practice queue. You can then drill just those questions until you get them right, at which point you can remove them manually. If you get a question wrong again after removing it, it comes back automatically. It means your study time goes where it is actually needed.
