The Commercial Pilot Certificate is the Gateway to professional and high performance piloting.
With
a minimum of time and cost, YOU can ACE your FAA Commercial
Pilot knowledge (written) test using our GroundSchool
Software.
The
Commercial Pilot license is a bit of a paradox in that it's
both easy (many claim that obtaining the certificate is easier
than their instrument or private) and yet quite difficult in its own way.
Sometimes, part of the difficulty is getting motivated to do
the knowledge test! Whether your goal is to become a professional
pilot or to simply sharpen your existing flying skills, our software
prepares you to take and pass your Commercial Pilot knowledge test with minimal cost and time while
maximizing your learning.
- GroundSchool features up-to-date, ACTUAL
FAA QUESTIONS. Answers and Explanations have been written by
highly experienced flight instructors and professional pilots.
All required charts and figures are included.
- By
this point, you're familiar with the format of FAA Knowledge
tests and probably appreciate the benefit of getting them
done sooner rather than later. Our software helps you do this
is a no-nonsense fashion.
- This
software costs about the same books do, but is
significantly more time efficient. Sure, DVD/Video sets may
look pretty, but most find them inefficient, timewise. Our
software works on YOUR pace at significantly lesser cost.
- This
software can be used to prepare for all of the FAA Commercial
Pilot and Military Competence
tests (airplane, rotorcraft, glider, lighter-than-air).

 is ....
GroundSchool is designed to help you learn the material and score highly on your
test in the most efficient manner possible. Our software represents years of listening to and understanding the needs of pilots
and mechanics. The program is designed with the singular goal of helping you learn
the material so you can pass your FAA written test with a minimum of time and
effort. Sure, there are some study methods that are cheaper (and many far more
expensive!).. but only if your time is worth nothing.. Our software is fast, efficient,
and proven.
Here are a few screenshots from the software:
With our FAA Written Test Prep software, you don't have to worry about having
an out of date version. Our authors work to update the data as FAA question
pools change. Groundschool has a built-in self-update feature that connects
to our servers and makes sure that you have the latest and greatest versions
of the software and data soon after they becomes available.
Additionally, the self-update can be used to install new test
data (such as Instrument Rating on top of Private Pilot) so you can have it
when and where you need it.
"I
wanted to express my gratitude for the FAA Ground School Test Prep
Software. The features are outstanding with regard to knowledge
reinforcement, cross referencing, concentrating on weak points,
and ease of use. Even if you have one of the other home study courses
you still need this program."
