Frequently Asked Questions

What is Gouge Hub?

Gouge Hub is a community platform for sharing and finding checkride gouge materials. We help pilots prepare for their checkrides by connecting them with valuable resources and experiences from others who have taken the same exams with the same Designated Pilot Examiners (DPEs).

How do I find gouge for a specific DPE?

Use the "Find Gouge" section on the homepage. Select the DPE name from the dropdown filter to see all available gouge for that examiner. You can also filter by test type (PPL, IFR, CFI, etc.) to narrow your search.

How do I submit gouge?

Click the "Submit a Gouge" button on the homepage or in the navigation menu. This will take you to our submission form where you can share your checkride experience and materials.

Is gouge sharing legal?

Yes. Sharing study materials, experiences, and preparation tips for checkrides is completely legal and is a common practice in aviation training. We encourage sharing knowledge to help others succeed.

How often is the database updated?

Our gouge database is continuously updated as new submissions are received and approved. The website automatically refreshes to show the latest available gouge.

Can I request gouge for a specific DPE?

Yes! Use the "Inquire" section on the homepage to request gouge for a specific DPE or test type. We'll do our best to find what you need.
