New Zealand CPL practice exams.

All six CPL theory subjects from Subject 16 Air Law to Subject 22 Principles of Flight and Performance. 1,741 questions with at least one for every item in the AC61-5 syllabus, in papers the same size and clock as the Aspeq sittings, marked on submit with worked answers.

A code is $9.99, against $12 elsewhere, and bundles issue a set of codes for every subject so a full pass through the six papers costs from $6.67 each.

Before you buy

Questions people ask.

Straight answers. If yours is not here, email support and a person replies.

Six: Air Law, Human Factors, Meteorology, General Aircraft Technical Knowledge, Flight Navigation General and Principles of Flight and Performance. Rule 61.203 lists them, and all six must be passed within three years of sitting the first.

70%, the same as every written exam under Part 61 (rule 61.17(b)), and a CPL exam credit is valid for three years (rule 61.17(d)).

A bundle is issued as a fixed set: Starter is one code per subject (6), Plus is two per subject (12), Complete is three per subject (18). Each code is locked to its subject so the set cannot drift onto one paper. A single $9.99 code works on any one CPL subject.

No. The Flying Kiwi is an independent New Zealand study aid. The papers are built to the same syllabus, question count and time limit as the Aspeq sittings, but the questions are ours and the result is a practice score, not a licence credit.

A PPL exam code is $5.99 NZD, or $29.99 for six, $54.99 for twelve and $99.99 for twenty-four. A CPL exam code is $9.99, with bundles of 6, 12 and 18 codes (one, two or three per subject) at $49.99, $89.99 and $119.99. All prices are in New Zealand dollars.

Unused codes never expire. Once you launch an exam with a code you have 24 hours to finish it, and your progress is saved if the connection drops.

Yes. Each paper is drawn fresh from the bank on the server and the options inside every question are shuffled, so sitting the same subject twice gives two different papers.

Your score and pass or fail against the 70% mark on screen straight away, then a written de-brief by email: every question you missed, what you chose, the correct answer, the reasoning and the syllabus code to revise.

Yes. A fixed 12-question PPL paper runs on the same engine with the same clock and the same de-brief, with no sign-up.
