Study by the standard

The FAA's checkride syllabus, every reference one tap away.

Pick your certificate or rating. RegBrief lays out the exact Areas of Operation, Tasks, and Knowledge / Risk Management elements the FAA tests, with each cited regulation rendered as a tap chip into the bundled FAR/AIM text. The screen reads like the Airman Certification Standards document itself — offline, no tab juggling.

  • FAA Areas of Operation as section headers, Tasks as collapsible rows.
  • Each Knowledge / Risk Management element shows the FAA's recommended-reading list verbatim.
  • Tap any cited § to jump straight into the bundled CFR or AIM paragraph.
  • Study Mode allows you to swipe left and right through the individual sections and highlight* what you need.

* Requires Plus.
