Just got my IFR written exam done in Paris... 98%! It has been a great fun to prepare it with GroundSchool. I will continue to use it from time to time as a refresher, and I just bought RideReady to prepare my Checkride ... Thanks!

I just wanted to say thank you for making it so easy to transfer my logbook data to a new computer. My old hard drive quit working, but fortunately I saved all the backup.dat files on an external hard drive, and it only took about 2 minutes to import everything! My new computer is now full up and running with minimal effort! Thanks so much!

We're very grateful that our products play a small role in helping pilots like ED here in his brave and honorable service, and doubly thankful that he took some time out of his busy schedule to write to us with some good news.

A nice score on the Sport Pilot written!

Superb Scores on the Private and IFR writtens!

I wanted to thank you guys again. I used GroundSchool to prepare for my private written back when I took it, the result was 98 (1 mistake out of 60). I have recently used your software again to prepare for my instrument written, I'm afraid I did much worse (98, or two mistakes out of 60, twice as many as last time...).
I loved the software, I loved the results even more. It gave me the knowledge I needed to pass the test and the confidence I'm ready for it to enable me to think clearly.

I would like to deeply thank you for providing this superb exam preparation product. I used your program to prepare for my instrument written test. I was working with the program only for an hour or two a day for about a month. I took the exam and passed with [a very high] score. .. Checkride.com is the way to go!

[Just took] my Private Pilot written exam. Scored a perfect 100% and although it was a lot of hard work, your product certainly played a big role in this achievement. Thank you. I will use your products as I progress through my ratings.

Using your product was the number one reason for passing my Instrument Airplane exam the first time with a score of 97%. Your software is the most inexpensive, yet is very flexible and "gets the job done!"

Wow! 97% is a great score on the particuarly tough IFR written. We're glad we could help you towards your goal.

This year: resolve to fly.

A message from our founders:

Every new year brings reflection on the year past. Speaking broadly for the world as a whole, the previous year ended on a series of worrisome notes as, some would suggest, the chickens of previous years' economic overexuberances had come home to roost.

Speaking for Dauntless, while of course we have been affected by the overall global slowdown to some extent, that we make the best products of their kind out there gives us plenty of reason to be optimistic for the future - we have a series of exciting new releases planned for this year and we look forward to sharing these with you as they become available.

It's true that tough economic times provide convenient excuses to defer plans and dreams, and in the following I'm not at all trying to belittle those, and certainly there are many, who truly find themselves in dire straits. However, good times or bad, time moves on, and make sure that if your dreams include aviation, that you don't make excuses unnecessarily.

If anything, it's a great time to fly - aircraft fuel prices are now as low as they've been in recent memory and also, many believe, as low as they're likely to ever be again. While of course we don't want to pretend that flying or learning to fly is inexpensive, the cost must be weighed against the arguably much higher cost of never chasing after your dreams. Let's face it - an hour of flying probably costs the same or more as buying a single Playstation or X-Box game - but which will you remember more? Which will ultimately be the stuff of your dreams?

Maybe what I'm saying is this - don't let the current economic times cause you to lose sight of your dreams. Whatever your goal in aviation, it will take a bit of sacrifice, but it will be worth it.

I also suggest (humbly) that if you're not quite ready to start flying now, you can also get a head start on your training in the future and "keep the dream alive" by learning the stuff and studying using our relatively inexpensive software and other training materials. It's never too early to start, and it's something you can do even if you have the desire but winter weather keeps you grounded.

Happy New Year!

from AC, NV, and the entire Dauntless family
