What you get

Everything the exam tests, nothing it doesn't.

Study notes that cite the rule

Every regulation is tied to the section it comes from — the CAR, the TC AIM paragraph, the FTGU chapter — so you learn the source, not a paraphrase of it.

Day VFR in uncontrolled airspace below 1,000 ft AGL: 2 miles flight visibility and clear of cloud CARs 602.115(c). At night that becomes 3 miles 602.115(c)(ii).

Mock exams built to TC's spec

Same question count and time limit as the real sitting, scored by topic so you can see which area would have failed you.

Charts and reports like the real exam's

Mock-exam questions come with the document they test: VNC and VTA extracts, GFAs, METARs and TAFs, CFS entries, approach plates and performance charts. Most are drawn for this course in the Canadian formats at fictional aerodromes, and every exhibit is zoomable.
