When You Need This Endorsement

The pre-solo knowledge test endorsement certifies that the student pilot has satisfactorily completed the required knowledge test for solo flight in the specific aircraft make and model. This is a mandatory gate before solo flight authorization under FAR § 61.87(b).

The endorsement must be issued by a flight instructor and placed in the student's logbook before solo flight is authorized. Verify the student passed the knowledge test and record the specific aircraft make/model for which the test was completed.
