A PilotSphere alternative, free for life

PilotSphere is a paid DGCA preparation platform with AI tutoring and live mentor sessions. AIVR CPL is a free question bank built around depth and honest scoring — 21,188 questions, 443 chapters, and 6,868 in Air Navigation alone. They are not the same product, so here is where each one is genuinely stronger.

PilotSphere details are taken from pilotsphere.in as published in August 2026 and are summarised, not quoted in full. They may have changed since — check their site for current pricing and contents before you decide. AIVR CPL's figures are read from the live question bank when this page is built.

Being straight about it

Where PilotSphere is the better buy

  • Live one-to-one mentoring with current line pilots — AIVR CPL has no mentor marketplace.
  • AI voice grading for the RTR Part 2 practical. AIVR CPL teaches RTR through AIVR's courses at aivr.in, not inside this app.
  • An AI study assistant that answers questions conversationally.

If those are what you need, pay for them — a free question bank is not a substitute for a tutor.

What you get

Free, and not a trial.

0121,188 questions

The whole bank, open

15 subjects and 443 chapters — Navigation, Meteorology, Technical General, Air Regulations, six aircraft types, the Airbus A320 and the airline entrance syllabus. Nothing is held back for a paid tier.

02Timed papers

Exam mode

Full-length papers built to the real DGCA shapes — 100 questions in three hours for Navigation and Technical General, 50 in two for Meteorology and Air Regulations, marked at the 70 per cent pass line.

03Readiness

A score that means something

An item-response model refits over your entire answer history and reports a percentage with a confidence interval, so a lucky run of easy questions does not read as ready. Practice never moves it; only Test mode does.
