Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: February 16, 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of Checkride.bot (“the App”), operated by AIviation LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Description of Service

Checkride.bot is an AI-powered practice tool that simulates FAA oral examinations for pilot certificate and rating checkrides. The App uses artificial intelligence to role-play as a Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) and evaluate your responses based on the FAA Airman Certification Standards (ACS).

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

NOT FLIGHT INSTRUCTION: Checkride.bot does NOT provide “ground training,” “flight training,” or “flight instruction” as defined in 14 CFR §61.1. The App does not meet the regulatory requirements for any form of FAA-recognized training. No Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI) is involved in delivering content through this App.

NOT AN FAA-APPROVED PROGRAM: Checkride.bot is NOT an FAA-approved training program, course, ground school, knowledge test preparation course, or certification service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the Federal Aviation Administration.

NO TRAINING RELATIONSHIP: Use of this App does NOT create a CFI-student, instructor-trainee, or any other training relationship. No person or entity associated with this App serves as your flight instructor, ground instructor, or aviation training provider.

CANNOT BE LOGGED AS TRAINING: Time spent using this App may NOT be logged as ground training, flight training, or any other form of aeronautical experience in your pilot logbook under 14 CFR §61.51 or any other regulation.

NO GUARANTEE OF PASSAGE: Checkride.bot does NOT guarantee passage of any FAA knowledge test, practical test, or checkride. Exam outcomes depend on factors entirely outside the scope of this App.

AI CONTENT MAY CONTAIN ERRORS: All examiner responses are generated by artificial intelligence. AI-generated responses may contain factual errors, inaccuracies, outdated information, or misinterpretations of FAA regulations. ALWAYS verify information with your Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI) and official FAA publications (14 CFR, AIM, PHAK, AFH, ACS).

SAFETY OF FLIGHT: NEVER make safety-of-flight decisions based on information obtained from this App. This includes but is not limited to: weather decisions, airspace decisions, aircraft performance calculations, weight and balance, fuel planning, preflight actions required by 14 CFR §91.103, or any other decision that affects the safe outcome of a flight. Always consult official FAA sources and qualified aviation professionals.

NO EXAMINER RELATIONSHIP: The AI examiner is a simulation and has no authority to issue, deny, or recommend any FAA certificate, rating, or endorsement. No examiner-applicant relationship exists.

SUPPLEMENTARY TOOL ONLY: This App is intended solely as a supplementary self-study and practice tool. It does NOT replace ground school, flight training, instruction from a qualified CFI, or any other form of FAA-recognized training.

REGULATORY CHANGES: FAA regulations and standards change frequently. We make reasonable efforts to keep content current, but we do not guarantee that all references reflect the latest regulatory amendments, airworthiness directives, NOTAMs, TFRs, or other operational information.

2. Eligibility
