FAA testing update
The FAA is changing how knowledge tests work.
Through late 2026 and beyond, the FAA and PSI are embedding chart images directly into test questions and moving to a fully paperless testing portal. The exam content and the standards you're held to aren't changing — how you'll see and answer the questions is.
We read every FAA Airman Testing Community Advisory as it's published and update our question bank several times a month. As these changes take effect, we'll adapt the platform so nothing on test day is a surprise.

OCT 27, 2026
Instrument Rating (IRA) and small drone (UAG) tests begin including chart questions whose images live inside the question — not in the printed supplement.
FALL 2026
PSI's new paperless Test Taker Portal is targeted for rollout. FAA content, standards, and security are unchanged.
DATE NOT YET SET
Printed test supplements retire from test centers. The FAA has promised ample notice; until then, you'll still have yours.
