Your Examiner

Three personas. Your pace.

Practice with the examiner style that matches your real checkride — or challenge yourself with a stricter one. Each persona has a distinct questioning style, tone, and scoring approach.

Distinct questioning style and personality

Adjustable difficulty and follow-up depth

Recommended starting persona for new users

Mike Thompson

Retired airline captain • Relaxed style

Conversational, patient. Gives credit for partial answers and guides you toward deeper understanding.

Karen Walsh

Active DPE • Balanced style

Thorough, fair. Expects organized answers with regulatory backing. The closest to a real checkride.

Robert Chen

Military background • Strict style

No-nonsense, by-the-book. Demands precise regulatory citations and thorough scenario analysis.
