Sport Pilot Knowledge Test
Part of the journey to the completion of your sport pilot certification is a passing grade on the FAA sport pilot knowledge test. The sport pilot “written” test is aircraft category specific and is administered in the same manner as the other FAA knowledge tests that are given for other pilot ratings through a computer testing service referred to as airmen knowledge testing sites. A score of 70% or higher is required to receive a passing score.
You will be tested on seven areas of knowledge with no single area having more importance over another. Just like any other FAA tests, the sport pilot knowledge test has a test bank of published questions and the test will also have some questions that are not published. A total of 40 questions will be on each test and you will have 2 hours in which to complete the test. The questions on the test will not be in any particular order.

Sport Pilot Examiner (SPE) = Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE)
Just like private pilots who are certificated to fly standard category aircraft (what most people think of as airplanes), the sport pilot has to go through a “final exam” or what is known in the aviation world as a “checkride” to finally obtain their license to fly with a passenger on board their aircraft and operate as pilot in command or PIC. This is done after the sport pilot candidate finishes all of their required aeronautical experience, including required training, and receives a passing sport pilot knowledge test report.
