We believe (and scientific study validates) that the interactive activity of test preparation, when combined with the sort of detailed supplementary and explanatory material that we offer, is an excellent way to thoroughly learn and internalize key aviation information.
We are test prep specialists and the experience of thousands upon thousands of pilots proves that our method works. We do not use test prep as a "hook", as some of our advertising-based competitors do, to sell you expensive but ineffective passive video-based courses and similar products that do little besides waste your time and drain your wallet.
Use our material and study hard - not just the questions and answers, but the reasoning and explanations too, and be on your way, in a highly time and cost efficient way, to knowledge test and aviation success!
Make your study time count.
Work through parachute-rigging knowledge with detailed explanations and illustrations. Use the relevant study selection to focus your review, then check your understanding with practice tests.
- Actual and realistic FAA questions with explanations that help you learn the material. How our question banks are maintained.
- Required charts and figures included so the relevant reference material is available while you study.
- Flexible review and unlimited practice tests to help you concentrate on weak subjects and check your progress.
- Study on your schedule, with no need to wait for a class or for materials to arrive in the mail.

Study to understand the work.
GroundSchool’s rigger preparation brings the questions, figures, and detailed explanations together so that you can work through the material efficiently. Revisit difficult topics, practice regularly, and use the explanations to understand the reasoning.
Your practical experience, skills, and required demonstrations remain central to becoming a rigger. The app supports the knowledge-test portion of that preparation.
Current learning material. Long-term value.
Keep your preparation up to date.
Our editorial team regularly maintains the questions, explanations, and supporting learning material. Use the content-update option in your app before starting a new round of preparation and periodically as you study.
Free lifetime content updates are included for your purchased test bank, subject to the applicable product and platform terms. Read about question-bank updates.
More about content updates
With our FAA Written Test Prep app, you don't have to worry about having an out of date version. Our authors work to update the data as FAA question pools change. Groundschool has a built-in self-update feature that connects to our servers and makes sure that you have the latest and greatest versions of the app and data soon after they becomes available.
Additionally, the self-update can be used to install new test data (such as Instrument Rating on top of Private Pilot) so you can have it when and where you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does every Master Rigger applicant need another written test?
No. Section 65.119(b) provides a written-test exception for holders of a Senior Parachute Rigger certificate. Confirm which tests apply to your situation before preparing.
What do the Senior and Master choices in the app mean?
They are study selections intended to focus the material. They do not change FAA eligibility requirements or establish that a separate written test is required in every case.
Does one purchase cover every platform?
GroundSchool is licensed separately for each platform. A Windows purchase does not include the Mac, iPhone/iPad, or Android app. GroundSchool Audio is also a separate product. Review the purchase terms for the version you choose.
