CTO exam key facts
- The FAA Control Tower Operator (CTO) Airmen Written Test requires a score of 70 percent or higher to pass. Source
- An applicant who fails a test for the FAA Control Tower Operator certificate may retest 30 days after the failure, or sooner with a signed statement from a certificated airman who has given additional instruction in each failed subject and considers the applicant ready. Source
- An FAA Control Tower Operator certificate issued under 14 CFR Part 65 does not expire; it stays in effect until it is surrendered, suspended or revoked. Source

What Practice Test Geeks adds beyond an AI chat for CTO
An AI chatbot can quiz you, but it can't reproduce the exam conditions or keep your record. Here you get:
- A timed, full-length CTO mock exam — 100 questions in 120 minutes with a 70% pass mark, modeled on the official exam's question count and time limit, followed by a score report broken down by exam domain.
- A fixed CTO question bank: the same test every attempt, so your score is comparable from one try to the next instead of changing with every regenerated quiz.
- Progress saved on your device: completed tests, scores and missed questions stay in My Progress, so you can retake only what you got wrong.
- A printable CTO cheat sheet you can print or save as a PDF.
- Free CTO practice tests with the correct answer shown after each question.
