PSTAR Course (Pre-Solo Aviation Regulations) – Prep for a 90% Pass

The PSTAR exam (Student Pilot Permit / Aviation Regulations exam) is one of the first written tests you’ll face in Canadian flight training — and the pass standard is high.

This PSTAR course is designed to help student pilots pass confidently with a structured approach: short lessons, clear explanations, and practice exams that mirror how the real test feels.

Included in our Private Pilot Ground School (PPL) — so you don’t need to buy a separate PSTAR program.

What you’ll learn (the high-yield PSTAR topics):

• Collision avoidance and right-of-way basics
• Visual signals and aerodrome signage/markings
• Communications and radio procedures for VFR operations
• Airspace basics, controlled vs uncontrolled procedures
• Pilot responsibilities, flight planning essentials, NOTAM awareness

How this PSTAR course is built (instructor approach)

If you “just memorize answers,” you’ll pass — but you’ll struggle later in training. The better approach is:

1. Understand the rule
2. Recognize the question style
3. Practice until you can score 90%+ consistently

That’s exactly how this course is structured: learn → reinforce → practice.

Practice exams that feel like the real thing

Transport Canada’s PSTAR study and reference guide (TP 11919) is organized into multiple sections with a large pool of questions.
This course trains you to handle the question styles and topics that repeatedly show up in flight training.
