Our Mission:

Rated is the only all-in-one application designed by aviation mechanics, for aviation mechanics. We're dedicated to breaking down barriers and providing comprehensive, maintenance-focused learning tools that help you achieve your Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) certification.

Who We Serve

Rated supports three key groups pursuing A&P certification:

1. Part 147 Students & Graduates - Current students and graduates of Aviation Maintenance Technician schools

2. Work Experience Candidates - Individuals with civilian or military aviation maintenance experience meeting 14 CFR Part 65 requirements

3. JSAMTCC Graduates - Military personnel who have completed the Joint Service Aviation Maintenance Technician Certification Council program

The A&P Challenge We Solve

The Authorization Hurdle

The first major barrier is obtaining authorization to take the three Knowledge Tests (General, Airframe, and Powerplant). While Part 147 students receive authorization through their school's program, work experience candidates face significant challenges:

• Limited FSDO availability - Evaluations often scheduled only monthly

• Geographic barriers - Long drives to reach Flight Standards District Offices

• Subjective evaluations - ASI assessments can vary based on individual experience and bias

• Documentation complexity - Military experience may not be easily understood by civilian evaluators

The Study Material Crisis

After 2022's transition from Practical Test Standards (PTS) to Airman Certification Standards (ACS), the aviation maintenance training industry struggled to adapt. While pilot training has numerous third-party study materials, maintenance training resources are severely outdated - many databases haven't been updated since 2012.

How Rated Transforms Your Journey

Comprehensive Authorization Support

• Pre-evaluation preparation - Verify age, language proficiency, and practical experience requirements before visiting the FSDO

• Knowledge gap assessment - Rate your practical experience across all Knowledge Test topics

• Targeted study planning - Focus on areas where you lack exposure to better prepare for the evaluation process

Industry-Leading Study Materials

• Dynamically updated database - Questions generated from the same FAA reference documents used by test writers

• Fundamental learning approach - Focus on understanding principles rather than rote memorization

• Phase Study Strategy - Structured learning path that keeps you engaged and progressing

• Real-world simulation - Oral questions with text-to-voice interface mimicking the actual DME experience

Complete Test Preparation

• Knowledge Tests - Comprehensive preparation for General, Airframe, and Powerplant exams

• Oral & Practical (O&P) - Simulated DME experience with reference material access

• Practical terminology mastery - Learn the precise definitions of inspect, check, troubleshoot, service, repair, and overhaul

Why Start with General?

Rated strongly recommends beginning with the General test because:

• Theory-based content - Builds fundamental knowledge that applies across all areas

• Academic refresh - Helps those returning to structured learning after years away

• Foundation building - Establishes the "why" behind maintenance practices

Your Success Strategy

1. Get authorization - Use Rated's tools to prepare for FSDO evaluation

2. Study fundamentals - Master the underlying principles, not just memorization

3. Practice realistically - Use our O&P simulation to prepare for the actual test environment

4. Stay engaged - Follow our Phase Study Strategy to maintain momentum toward your goal

The Rated Difference
