- Book and pay on PSI. Create an account or sign in on the PSI website, choose your test, select the confirmed date and time, and pay the test fee. Choose your test carefully. If you book the wrong test, you cannot take it and the fee will not be refunded.
- Come to our office on test day, or let us know if you need a pickup.
What to bring
U.S. citizens
- A valid government-issued photo ID.
- If your ID does not show your current physical (residential) address, also bring an official document that does, such as a utility bill or a residency letter from your landlord. A P.O. Box is not accepted.
Non-U.S. citizens
- Two forms of ID: your passport and one other ID, such as the driver’s license from your home country.
- Your license does not need to be in English, and you do not need an International Driving Permit.
All candidates
- An instructor endorsement or other authorization, if your test requires one. The Remote Pilot (Part 107) test does not. If you are not sure, choose “Not sure” on the request form and we will help you check.
Security check before your test
To keep the test secure, everyone goes through a security check before entering the testing room. Our proctor checks your clothing, pockets and belongings.

- Take off your watch and store all prohibited items. Free lockers with keys are available.
- Turn off your phone and other electronic devices.
- Complete the security check.
- Show the proctor any testing aids you plan to use, such as a calculator.
Not allowed in the testing room

- Phones, smart glasses, earbuds, AirPods, headphones and any recording device
- Tablets, laptops and other electronics

- Your own pens, pencils and scratch paper. The test center provides a pencil, scratch paper and the testing supplement book.
- Hats, caps and outerwear
- Food and drinks, unless permitted
- Weapons
Calculators
- You may use a basic arithmetic calculator, or an electronic flight computer (E6B) whose manufacturer states that it may be used on FAA knowledge tests.
- You must clear the memory in front of the proctor before and after the test.
- Other calculators and E6B apps on phones are not allowed.
During the test
- Do not talk to or communicate with other candidates.
- Do not copy, photograph or share any test questions.

Breaking these rules may end your test. To prevent cheating, every test is video-recorded, and the recordings are kept for a period of time as evidence.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I fly in, take my test and fly home without staying overnight?
- Yes. We can arrange tests outside our regular hours (8:00–16:00) for an additional fee, so late-night and early-morning flights work too. We also offer airport pickup for US$30 round trip. Tell us your preferred date and time on the request form.
- Can I test on weekends?
- Yes. We are open every day.
- How much is the test, and how do I pay?
- From US$175, depending on the test. You pay PSI by credit card when you book on their website. Please assume no other payment method is available. We do not collect the test fee.
- What if I book the wrong test?
- You cannot take a test you did not register for, and the fee will not be refunded. Check the test name and code carefully when you book on PSI.
- What is an FTN?
- Your FAA Tracking Number, issued to each applicant by the FAA. You get it by creating an account on IACRA, and you need it to book your test.

- Can I test if I am under 18?
- Each test has a minimum age, for example 14 for Remote Pilot (UAG) and 15 for Private Pilot (PAR). If you are under 18 and do not have acceptable ID, a parent or guardian must come with you, show their own ID and confirm your identity.
- When do I get my result?
- Your Airman Knowledge Test Report (AKTR) is printed as soon as you finish. How long it stays valid depends on the test.
- What if I fail?
- For most tests, you can retest with your failed AKTR and an instructor endorsement. Some tests have a waiting period, for example 14 days for Remote Pilot (UAG). See the FAA Testing Matrix for details.

- What if the computer freezes during my test?
- Tell the proctor. We will handle it depending on the situation.
