The full breakdown

What's on the AGI exam — and how to pass it.

The FAA Advanced Ground Instructor (AGI) knowledge test is the gateway to teaching aeronautical knowledge to pilots up through the commercial and instrument level on the ground. It’s a 100-question, multiple-choice exam, and it’s distinctive because it combines two very different bodies of material: the how to teach of the Fundamentals of Instructing with the what to teach of advanced aeronautical knowledge.

What’s on the exam

  • Fundamentals of Instructing (FOI) — the learning process, human behavior and the elements of effective teaching, the teaching and assessment methods, and the instructor’s responsibilities and professional development. This is the shared FOI material every instructor rating tests.
  • Regulations & procedures — the parts of 14 CFR relevant to ground instruction and the privileges and limitations of the AGI certificate.
  • Aircraft, systems & performance — powerplants, systems, aerodynamics, and weight-and-balance fundamentals.
  • Weather & weather services — weather theory, the hazards, and the products an instructor must be able to interpret and explain.
  • Navigation & flight planning — chart use, the navigation systems, and cross-country planning.
  • Airspace & airport operations — the airspace classes, operating rules, and airport markings and lighting.
  • Aeromedical factors & ADM — the physiological factors and aeronautical decision-making.

Why AGI candidates stumble

Most AGI candidates are strong on the aeronautical side and underestimate the FOI — or vice versa. The exam rewards balance, and the FOI section in particular has its own vocabulary (the levels of learning, the laws of learning, defense mechanisms) that you simply have to know cold.

How PassFirst helps

  • Adaptive practice across both halves. The engine notices whether FOI or the aeronautical knowledge is dragging your score and rebalances your sessions accordingly.
  • Grounded in the FAA’s own handbooks. Every item is generated from the public-domain Aviation Instructor’s Handbook (FAA-H-8083-9B) and Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge (FAA-H-8083-25), graded by a separate model, and verified against the source.
  • A tutor on every miss. A Socratic coach walks you to the concept — the teaching principle or the aeronautical rule — instead of a bare answer key.
  • Honest readiness signal. Know when you’re ready to sit a broad, two-part knowledge test.

Built for instructor candidates pursuing the AGI rating. Federal — one nationwide FAA knowledge test, no state supplements.

Why candidates switch

The category looks identical. We're the exception.

Every other AGI app is the same rectangle of question, four buttons, one big "Next." It works — and it's genuinely uninspiring.

The incumbent app

  • Shows the answer, never the reasoning
  • Same random questions for everyone
  • No way to practice the out-loud parts
  • Streaks, timers, and leaderboards that add pressure
  • Content that quietly goes stale

PassFirst

  • A tutor that teaches the why on every miss
  • Adaptive engine that targets your weak topics
  • Honest diagnostics — no anxiety theater
  • Re-ingested against the live source documents

The honest answers.

Will this actually get me to pass?

No app can guarantee a pass — anyone who promises that is lying to you. What we can do is target your weak topics, teach the reasoning behind every miss, and give you an honest readiness signal before you sit the exam. Most candidates who reach "ready" on our diagnostic pass on the first try.

Is the content current for 2026?

Yes. Questions are generated and checked against the current AGI source documents, then re-ingested on a schedule when those documents change. We don't ship loosely paraphrased material.

Can I get a refund?

If PassFirst isn't right for you, email us within 14 days for a full refund — no rage-bait "are you sure?" flow, no hoops. We'd rather you trust us than feel trapped.

What if the rules change?

The question pool tracks the current federal source documents. When the regulations update, the affected questions are regenerated and re-verified — and your access carries through it.

Do you have my exam version?

This is a federal credential, so the question pool is scoped to exactly the federal knowledge sections you'll be tested on — no state variations to worry about.
