The FAA Sport Pilot Knowledge Test (SPA), Updated for MOSAIC: One Topic per Page, Every Topic Drawn

The MOSAIC limits, the four forces, density altitude, METARs, airspace classes, VFR minimums, weight and balance, and compass heading: in the manuals, it's a wall of text. Here every topic fits on one page, with the drawing and what you need to remember. 84 illustrated pages.

The Rules Changed. Nobody Put Old and New Side by Side.

You've read the section on the four forces and angle of attack three times. You close the manual...

...and you can't remember what angle of attack is measured against. It was just lines of text.

61.315: no hire, no business use, no towing, no Class A, no visibility under 3 SM, and more.

Here the four forces and angle of attack are one page: lift against weight, thrust against drag, and the angle drawn between the chord line and the relative wind.

And on the pages next to it, every topic has its own: lift and density, load factor, stalls, spins and ground effect.

First you see why it works that way. Then you can explain it when your instructor asks.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE

Stop Memorizing Rules You Can't Picture:

THIS
  • Pages and pages of tightly packed text
  • Rules without a single drawing
  • On the test, you don't know where to start
Pursuant to 14 CFR 61.325, a person holding a sport pilot certificate who seeks privileges to operate an aircraft in Class B, C, or D airspace, or at an airport having an operational control tower, must receive and log ground and flight training from an authorized instructor, including the use of radios, communications, navigation systems and radar services, three takeoffs and landings to a full stop at a towered airport, each involving flight in the traffic pattern, the applicable Part 91 rules, and a logbook endorsement.
FOR THIS
  • The same rule, drawn: radio training, 3 full-stop landings, logbook endorsement
  • One topic per page, with the rules in boxes
  • You remember it because you've seen it
Airplanes: from 1,320 lb, 120 knots, 45-knot VS1 and 2 seats to no weight or speed limit, 59 knots CAS, 4 seats.

What If Every Topic Fit on a Single Page?

Picture this:

Instead of rereading half a page on airspace classes without being able to see them...

...you open the page and find every class side by side: Class A starting at 18,000 ft MSL, Class C with its 5 NM core and 10 NM shelf.

Lift equals weight, thrust equals drag, and angle of attack is chord line versus relative wind.

And density altitude, the METAR, the wind triangle, weight and balance, and the MOSAIC limits turn into drawings and tables you can read at a glance.

You stop reciting it and start understanding it.

That's exactly what Sport Pilot Made Visual does. It's not “just another manual.” It's 10 parts and 79 illustrated topics, and at the end the look-alike numbers side by side, the most frequent mix-ups and your test day checklist.

Because what your brain sees organized, it remembers.

Here Is What You Get with Sport Pilot Made Visual:

Ipp. 6-15

The Certificate After MOSAIC

Know what the test asks and whether you qualify: what's on the SPA test, who can apply, the 20-hour path, driver's license or medical, what MOSAIC changed, which airplanes qualify, finding VS1 and the 61.315 limits.

IIpp. 16-22

Endorsements and Staying Current

See what you can fly and what needs an endorsement: tower and Class B, C, D, VH over or under 87 knots, night privileges, retractable gear and manual prop, flight review and recency, adding a category, and what you carry and log.

IIIpp. 23-31

Aerodynamics

Understand why the airplane does what it does: the four forces and angle of attack, lift and density, load factor, stalls, spin awareness, left-turning tendencies, stability, ground effect and flaps.

IVpp. 32-40

Engine, Prop and Instruments

See what's going on inside the engine and behind each instrument: the four-stroke engine, dual ignition, carburetor ice, mixture and detonation, propellers, fuel and electrical systems, pitot-static and gyroscopic instruments, and compass errors.

Vpp. 41-46

Performance and Weight & Balance

Work the numbers step by step: density altitude, the takeoff and landing distance charts, crosswind and headwind components, weight, arm and moment, and forward vs aft CG limits.

VIpp. 47-54

Weather

Read a METAR or a TAF without getting lost: clouds and dewpoint spread, fronts, thunderstorms and microbursts, fog, wind shear and wake turbulence, decoding a METAR and a TAF, GFA, AIRMETs and SIGMETs.

VIIpp. 55-61

Airspace and Charts

Look at a sectional and know what you're seeing: airspace classes side by side, VFR minimums under 91.155, sectional symbols, special use airspace and TFRs, transponder and ADS-B Out, the 10,000 MSL or 2,000 AGL limit, and the Chart Supplement.

VIIIpp. 62-71

Navigation and Airport Operations

Go from true course to compass heading, and know the airport rules: the wind triangle and E6B, time, speed, distance and fuel, fuel reserves, pilotage and GPS, traffic pattern, right-of-way, runway markings, light gun signals and minimum safe altitudes.

IXpp. 72-80

Safety, Human Factors and Regulations

Get the safety rules and your preflight decisions straight: hypoxia, spatial disorientation, alcohol and 91.17, PAVE and IMSAFE, hazardous attitudes, preflight action, airworthiness, annual vs. condition inspection, and reporting an accident.

Xpp. 81-84

Final Review and Test Day

Your final review, all in one place: the look-alike numbers side by side, the most frequent mix-ups, your repeatable methods on one page, and the test day checklist.

At the end of the book: The look-alike numbers side by side, the most frequent mix-ups and a test day checklist.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get the material?

Sport Pilot Made Visual comes as a high-resolution PDF by email, sent to the address you enter at checkout. The two free books, Sport Pilot Chart and Weight & Balance Drills and MOSAIC Quick Cards and Test Day Checklist, also come as PDFs by email. If something doesn't reach you, tell us and we'll sort it out, or we'll refund you under the guarantee.

Is it a monthly or a one-time payment?

A one-time payment of $27, with the book and the two free books included. No installments and no subscription. Any extras offered when you pay are optional.

Who is it for?

For anyone preparing for the FAA Sport Pilot Airplane knowledge test (SPA), even if you've never flown: it starts from the certificate itself. It also works if you're already flying with an instructor, or if you're a pilot or owner who wants a visual review of the rules after MOSAIC. It's written for the airplane test. Check the table of contents above to see the topics.

Is it updated for MOSAIC? What sources is it based on?

Yes. It uses the rules after MOSAIC, not the old 1,320 lb and 120-knot limits, with the old rule next to the new one. It's based on 14 CFR Parts 61 and 91 as amended by the MOSAIC rule (90 FR 35034), the FAA Airman Knowledge Testing Matrix, the testing supplement FAA-CT-8080-2H, the Sport Pilot Practical Test Standards FAA-S-8081-29B and, for accident reporting, 49 CFR Part 830.

Is this official FAA material? The FAA handbooks are free, so what do I get here?

No. It's an independent study guide, based on the FAA sources above, and it isn't published or endorsed by the FAA or PSI. The FAA handbooks are free and remain the source. What you get here is every SPA test topic in one consistent order: one topic per page, each with its drawing, plus the look-alike numbers side by side.

Does it replace my instructor or ground school?

No. It's study material: it doesn't give you a certificate or an endorsement. You still need training with an authorized instructor and the required endorsements. It doesn't guarantee that you'll pass the test.

Are the practice problems the ones on the real test?

No. The drills in the bonus book are written for this book and are not official test questions. They're there to train you.

Can I print it?

Yes. It's a high-resolution PDF, so you can read it on your phone or print the pages you want to keep at hand.

What if I don't like it?

30-day guarantee: tell us what didn't work and we'll refund 100%.

One Last Thing Before You Decide...

You don't have to reread the same page hoping this time it sticks.

You don't have to memorize rules you can't picture.

And you certainly don't have to walk into the test not knowing where to start.

Before you decide: you already have the manuals. What's missing is seeing each topic on one page. That's 84 illustrated pages, 2 free books and 30 days to tell us if something didn't work.
