Get your A&P faster by actually learning it
Memorizing answer letters is how people end up paying a retest fee. Every question here cites the handbook and the page it came from, and a tutor that has read all 2,400-plus pages will explain why — until you know the system, not the letter.

General · Airframe · Powerplant — plus every oral question we have
The A&P is three tests. Most people plan for one.
The written
Three exams, 60 to 100 questions each. You can prepare for this entirely from your couch.
What this app is for
The oral
A DME sits across from you and asks questions until they’re satisfied you know it. No multiple choice to hide behind.
The practical
You do the work in front of them. Safety wire, sheet metal, troubleshooting, inspections.
Almost everyone plans for the written, because it’s the visible one — and it’s the part you can knock out on your own schedule, so start there. Oral prep is in here too, for when you’re ready for it.
How it works
Five steps, one section at a time
Most people who fail the written didn’t study too little. They ran practice questions over and over until the answers looked familiar — which works right up until the FAA words the question differently than the bank did.
So the app moves you through one section in a fixed order, and each step does a different job.
- 1
Read — Question and the correct answer only. No choices, no pressure.
- 2
Learn — All three choices with the right one marked. This is where you learn what a distractor looks like.
- 3
Quiz — Answer for real, in order. Flag anything shaky as you go.
- 4
Shuffle — Same questions, randomized.
- 5
Prove it — Full-length, timed, like the real thing.
Steps 1 and 2 feel too easy, which is exactly why people skip them. Don’t. And answer positions shuffle every time you see a question — if you’ve used other prep tools you may have quietly memorized that an answer sits in the B slot. That doesn’t help you in Oklahoma City.
Every answer
It tells you where it came from
Most test-prep tools hand you an answer key. B. Correct. Next question. That’s fine until you’re in the testing center looking at a question worded three degrees off from the one you drilled, and you realize you memorized a letter instead of a system.
Every question here shows its work — the explanation, then the actual source. Handbook and page. FAA-H-8083-30 for General, -31B for Airframe, -32 for Powerplant. If you want the paragraph it came from, it’s one click.
Otto · the AI tutor
Ask it why, not what
Otto is built into the app and has read all 2,400-plus pages of the AMT handbooks. Ask it something and it goes and finds the passage before it answers — including the figures, which it will pull up for you.
Two honest limits. Otto only does A&P — ask it about pilot ratings or last night’s game and it will politely tell you no. And on the free plan you get 5 questions a day, because every one of those answers costs us real money to generate.
Practice tests
Built to the real exam
The FAA passes you at 70. On Powerplant that means missing 30 questions and still walking out with a pass — which is not a comfortable margin. It’s the margin where a bad night’s sleep turns into a retest and another testing fee.
So the app holds you to the real format and the real clock: 60 questions in 2 hours for General, 100 in 2.5 for Airframe and Powerplant, 70% to pass.
One honest limit. On the free plan your practice tests draw from your 25-question sample for each section. Full-length tests off the whole bank come with Full Access, which is included in the in-person course.

We’re still in beta, which means you’re seeing this early and it isn’t perfect. If a question looks wrong, report it — it comes straight to me.
