All 409 official questions

The complete 2026-2030 NCVEC Technician pool, broken into bite-sized quizzes you can finish on a coffee break.

120 spaced-repetition flashcards

Frequencies, formulas, Part 97 rules — the cards that trip you up come back sooner; the ones you know fade.

Explanations grounded in Part 97

Not just "the answer is C." Every question and card explains the why, citing 47 CFR and the underlying RF concept.

Full 35-question practice exam

Timed and weighted exactly like the real Element 2. Know if you're ready before you book the test session.

Frequently asked questions.

Which FCC license does OnAir cover?+

OnAir covers the FCC Amateur Radio Technician class license — also known as Element 2. It's the entry-level ham radio license and the prerequisite for General and Extra.

Is the question pool the current one?+

Yes. OnAir uses the official NCVEC 2026-2030 Technician question pool — all 409 questions across the 10 subelements (T1 through T0).

What's included for free vs. Full Access?+

The free tier includes the full Commission's Rules subelement, 20 flashcards, and a sample of practice questions. Full Access is a one-time $9.99 unlock that opens every subelement, the complete 120-card flashcard deck, and the full 35-question simulator. There is no subscription.

Does OnAir explain the answers, not just mark them right or wrong?+

Yes. Every question and flashcard includes an explanation grounded in 47 CFR Part 97 and core RF concepts — the goal is for you to actually understand the material, not memorize answer letters.

Does it work offline?+

Yes. OnAir is offline-first — every question, flashcard, and practice exam is bundled with the app. No account, no tracking, no internet required after install.
