Aleks and Colin flying together

We're Aleks and Colin, the founders of Boldmethod. We both used to give checkrides, and we built this course to make charts and NOTAMs quick and easy to read, so you can plan your flight with confidence.

Unsure about VFR charts and NOTAMs? We've all been there.

Whether you're getting ready for a checkride or knocking the rust off before flying to a new airport, charts and NOTAMs can be hard to read. This course breaks them down piece by piece, so you can read your charts, stay clear of airspace you don't want to be in, and make sure you're not flying into a TFR.

Everything you need to read VFR charts.

Interactive graphics.

Each part of the chart is highlighted as you learn it, so you see exactly what every symbol means.

Practice as you go.

Short practice sessions after each section help it stick, even if you only have a few minutes.

Ready for your checkride.

End-of-chapter tests and a final test make sure you know it before your examiner asks.

Sectional Charts

Airports, navaids, airspace, and terrain on the chart you'll use most.

Terminal Area Charts

The close-up view of busy airspace around major airports.

Chart Supplement

How to find runway, frequency, and airport details fast.

NOTAMs

How to read NOTAMs and find TFRs before you fly.

Includes a bonus quiz chapter that groups practice questions by topic, so you can review before a checkride or flight review.

Hear the questions your examiner will ask.

This 20 minute video walks through part of a private pilot checkride oral. We plan a cross country from Paine Field, north of Seattle, to Portland-Troutdale, and you'll hear the examiner ask about airports, navaids, and terrain along the route, plus the Chart Supplement and NOTAMs, including TFRs.
