Download Free Software Aircraft Flight Test Program



For those that feel they have the required knowledge to pass the Private Knowledge Test, this course will give you the opportunity to take some practice exams online and, if you’re ready, will sign-off to take the actual test.

The software mimics the format of some of the actual computer testing programs being used by flight schools, making the transition between our practice tests and the real FAA exam incredibly seamless. According to one of our first time users, “You won’t know the difference!”

ANSWER: The amount of test flight time depends on the complexity of the aircraft and the FAA's flight test program. The FAA has a series of tests that are required (both flight and ground tests) and when those tests have been satisfied a type certificate will be issued to the aircraft manufacturer and then they can start producing the aircraft. We love DIY aircraft because it is an inexpensive way to get started and you can always reuse the electronics from the aircraft on another kit or project. As most people know, at Flite Test we make airplane build kits that make it incredibly easy to build and fly your own RC aircraft.

Flight Simulation Software Free

There are two versions of the testing program.

The free version will allow you to take as many random practice tests as you wish. The tests are generated using the latest bank of known FAA questions.

Runway Exit Design Interactive Model V3 (REDIM-V3)REDIM is a computer model developed to locate and design high-speed runway exits at airports. The model uses kinematic equations to characterize the aircraft landing dynamics and a polynomial-time dynamic programming algorithm to find the optimal locations of the high-speed exits. The objective of the optimization algorithm is to minimize the weighted average runway occupancy time (ROT) of an aircraft mix selected by the user. A database of aircraft characteristics for four terminal Aircraft Approach Categories (AAC) has been included in the model to facilitate its use in a large variety of airport environments and conditions. The database file relieves the user's deltas. See the Taxiway Fillet Design Tool User's Guide(PDF) for instructions.5/2018
