PilotWorkshops has released “Checkride Insights: Private Pilot,” a resource designed to demystify the private pilot check ride, according to company officials.
Checkride Insights: Private Pilot is a fully annotated version of the FAA’s Airman Certification Standards (ACS), enhanced with plain-language explanations, real-world examples, and examiner insights.
The manual compiles the advice of chief instructors, check airmen, and designated pilot examiners (DPEs) and maps them directly to the ACS tasks where those comments apply. The annotations explain how examiners really evaluate each task, highlight common mistakes, and share practical tips for making a strong, positive impression, company officials explained.
“Preparing for the checkride can be overwhelming, and the FAA’s ACS doesn’t make it any easier,” said Jeff Van West, author and Vice President at PilotWorkshops. “This manual is like having the examiner’s notes — it tells you what really matters, so you can focus your prep, reduce stress, and (maybe) even enjoy the ride.”
The manual is available in a digital format or as a spiral-bound print edition for $49.
