AJA Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Anyone know of a good software or online test prep program for Commercial Helicopter? I've been using MyWrittenExam.com and I am thinking of purchasing ASAs "Prepware - Commercial Pilot 2006" CD ROM unless there's a better suggestion. ::thanks:: AJA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flingwing206 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 The ASA software is excellent! www.asa2fly.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfly Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I am VERY satisfied with Dauntless Software's GroundSchool FAA Written Test Prep software. ::2thumbsat:: You can download and try it for free and decide if the inexpensive price is worth it to you. http://www.faatest.com/ I used to be a big fan of Gleim - until my helicopter written tests.

I have used it for the three pilot tests I've taken - most recently, the helo comm one - and I highly recommend it. Try it in the demo mode (free) to see what you think. It is very configurable and I used that feature to great effect - e.g. you can limit the questions you're given to a certain topic, and/or a certain number of questions, etc. It also has visual modes that emulate the various types of software that the testing centers use - e.g. LaserGrace, etc. I got a 99 on the real test - the question I missed was one of those that are not published by the FAA and thus wasn't in the study software. Be sure to get a printed copy of the FAA diagrams/figures book that is used for the actual test - FAA-CT-8080-1B "Computer Testing Supplement" - that makes it a lot easier to read/see the diagrams/maps/etc. than trying to look at them on-screen. good luck, Dave Blevins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChopperJ Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Again, you can't go wrong with the Dauntless software. Used it for my CFI tests and got in the 90's after just a few hours of prcatice. Plus, you can't find any free CFI tests on line. Since you have to pay for each section seperately (Private, Commercial, CFI) I would purchase the CFI and use it to study for the Commercial and CFI. The CFI Rotorcraft is pretty much the same as the Commercial except maybe it has a few tougher questions. Plus you have those free Commercial tests online.
