Getting certified to fly a personal flying car means passing two tests: a written knowledge exam and a practical check ride with an examiner. Under the FAA's MOSAIC rule, most two-seat models fall under sport pilot privileges, so the tests are the sport pilot tests, adapted for powered-lift aircraft.

The knowledge test covers airspace, weather, regulations, aircraft systems, and aeronautical decision making. The check ride covers preflight, takeoff, maneuvers, emergency procedures, and landing. This site breaks both down so you know what to study and what to expect on the day.
