## Product format

check-ride.ai is a mobile-optimized, browser-based, voice-native mock oral platform usable on phones, iPads and other tablets, laptops, and desktop computers.

## Supported categories and classes

- Airplane: Single Engine Land, Single Engine Sea, Multi Engine Land, and Multi Engine Sea
- Rotorcraft: Helicopter and Gyroplane

## Preparation focus

- Fundamentals of instruction and the practical application of teaching principles
- Technical subjects, endorsements, instructor responsibilities, and risk management
- Preflight preparation, aircraft systems, performance, and lesson organization
- Clear spoken explanations that can withstand follow-up questions

## Supported visual examples

- Teach an airspace concept from a VFR sectional rather than reciting a definition.
- Explain an airport marking, sign, lighting aid, or standard diagram from a reviewed figure.
- Use an airport diagram to teach runway, taxiway, and hot-spot awareness.
