Our Story
Answers to the ACS started as one pilot’s effort to prepare students the right way — by grounding training to the FAA’s testing standards, prioritizing objectivity, and helping students focus on what matters most.
Bio
Patrick Mojsak
Airline pilot, instructor, engineer, and creator of Answers to the ACS.
I’m an airline pilot and experienced flight instructor with an engineering background. My mission is to provide pilots clear guidance they can trust that’s concise, objective, and will make them better and safer pilots. That commitment is backed by real‑world experience; here’s a quick summary of my credentials:
- Airline Transport Pilot with A‑320, ERJ‑170/190, EMB‑145, CE‑560XL, & LR‑JET type ratings
- Flight Instructor Airplane Single Engine, Multiengine, Instrument Airplane, & Glider
- Commercial Pilot Glider & Airplane Single Engine Sea (ASES)
- B.S., Electrical Engineering, University of Texas at Arlington (2012)
I started instructing while in college. Although the airlines were a real option when I graduated, the “Lost Decade” changed that plan. So I went to Cessna and put my engineering degree to work, but continued instructing while I was there. During the start of the hiring boom in the late 2010s, I went to the regionals, eventually upgraded to captain, and then spent my last year there as a simulator instructor before joining a major U.S. airline.
Why I Created Answers to the ACS
Too many students discover the ACS too late, if at all, and use it as a cramming checklist. Meanwhile, bad gouge, hearsay, and misconceptions fill the gaps. I built Answers to the ACS to fix that with clear and objective guidance backed by sources.
