Knowledge Test

All sport pilot applicants must take a 40 question multiple-choice test and score 70% or better. The sport pilot knowledge test is the same for all categories of light-sport aircraft. The FAA will test specific aircraft category questions during the oral portion of the practical test conducted by the sport pilot examiner. The FAA has approved two test providers LaserGrade and CATS. The test must be taken at an approved test location. Both LaserGrade and CATS have franchised hundreds of test locations around the country. The FAA has published a sample of the test questions you can expect to see on the 40-question test. Here is a link to view sample knowledge test questions.

Laser Grade

EAA Members receive a $5 discount on the price of all FAA tests taken at any LaserGrade center. With more than 1,000 LaserGrade centers across the United States and Canada, you're sure to find one in your area. LaserGrade is one of only two computer-based testing companies authorized by the Federal Government to administer all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airman Knowledge Tests.

To take advantage of this discount call 800/211-2754 when you are ready to schedule your test. Tell the registrar you are a member of EAA and you will get $5 off of the regular price of $90.
