Applicants slated to take the FAA’s private pilot-airplane rating (PAR) or commercial pilot-airplane rating (CAX) knowledge exams will soon have less time to take the tests.
According to the Airman Testing Community Advisory committee, the publication of the FAA’s Airman Testing Standards Branch, the decision to reduce the test time was made by the FAA and PSI Services LLC, the FAA’s sole provider for FAA knowledge exams, after they performed what has been described as “a scientific assessment of the knowledge tests.”
