Basic Ground Instructor Practice Test
A full 80-question run in the real BGI format: your clock, pass mark drawn at 70%. Miss one and you get the plain-English why plus the handbook reference.
ACS-aligned study questions written by ATIS Alerts, not actual FAA test questions.
How scoring works
The real BGI knowledge test is 80 questions with a time limit of 2.5 hours, and you need 70%, 56 correct, to pass. This practice test scores the same way and breaks your result down by topic so you can see exactly where to study. In study mode you get the explanation after each question; in exam mode feedback waits until you submit, just like the real thing.
Reviewed October 12, 2026: 86 of 86 questions checked. AI-assisted editorial review by ATIS Alerts against current FAA publications (14 CFR, the AIM, FAA handbooks and the ACS), not a review by a certificated flight instructor.
