Let's
face it - you're unlikely to ever travel the world sideways
as a Flight Engineer. However, in today's highly competitive
job market, showing a potential employer a good score on a Flight
Engineer written test can set you apart from the rest. In fact, because the FAA Flight Engineer written exams are a good way to assess your systems knowledge and reasoning, many airlines demand it.
You can quickly study for your FE written test with our GroundSchool software. You don't need
waste money or a weekend on some $250+ Flight Engineer cram courses that effectively just sticks you front of a machine (or an instructor
doing his best to mimic one). Our software is much less expensive, features the same actual FAA questions, and has been proven to work for thousands of pilots.
Our GroundSchool software costs about the same as a book, but is much
more time efficient. We've had people report scores of 100%
after just a few evenings of using our software.
Unlike
books and other materials, our software updates itself using
the built-in self update feature. You can always have the latest
and greatest available study material from us at no extra charge.
Yes,
you study here using 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 included.
This
software can be used to prepare for all of the FAA Flight Engineer knowledge tests (reciprocating, turboprop, and turbojet).
This single download will help you prepare for any or all of the following tests:
FER - Flight Engineer Reciprocating Engine (added rating)

This single large download includes all of our FAA knowledge test prep titles - Private through FE/ATP + Mechanic [More Info].
We believe (and scientific study validates) that the interactive activity of test preparation, when combined with the sort of detailed supplementary and explanatory material that we offer, is an excellent way to thoroughly learn and internalize key aviation information.
We are test prep specialists and the experience of thousands upon thousands of pilots proves that our method works. We do not use test prep as a "hook", as some of our advertising-based competitors do, to sell you expensive but ineffective passive video-based courses and similar products that do little besides waste your time and drain your wallet.
Use our material and study hard - not just the questions and answers, but the reasoning and explanations too, and be on your way, in a highly time and cost efficient way, to knowledge test and aviation success!
The
best way to prepare for your FAA written test is to download the GroundSchool
software from above. Topics covered in the FAA

test bank include:
This software has a really cool feature. After you complete a study session, you can, choose to report your progress to our TestPrepStatus.com system where you will be able to see charts of your study progress so that you can identity your weak points.
The really cool thing, however, is that you can also invite your instructor (CFI, flight school, mechanic school, mentor, parent, study partner, etc) to log in and monitor your progress. This is neat because now you can prove to your instructor in a concrete way now your study is progressing.
Access to the TestPrepStatus.com system is completely free for you and your instructor! Only GroundSchool has this innovative system.

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
Passed the IFR (Airplane) and Flight Instructor Instruments tests in the same afternoon after using your apps!
I think your apps are very good. There was a guy next to me at the CATS testing center that failed after using She**** A**. ... I think the intuitiveness
of your apps is superb. ... Thanks for the help, I'll be using this for my commercial as well!
"
- JT - GroundSchool User.
"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."
- DM - GroundSchool User.
"I
took my test yesterday, and scored 97%. I hd K***'s DVD set and an A** book too. None of them hit the mark in terms of meeting my needs as much as your app did.
I was able to load the app on my work laptop, and take practice tests everywhere: in airports, in-flight (in scheduled airlines), long meetings. It really helped that I could save my tests, and could
review the questions I got wrong later. Being able to search for questions ... was very valuable in keeping me efficient and focused.
You should all be proud of having created something so useful, so well thought out!

A "test bank" contains
one or more tests. For example, the "Private and Recreational Pilot" test bank will contain the Private
Pilot Airplane, Private Pilot Helicopter, and other tests. You'll be able to see the exact tests in each
of the test banks in the screens to follow. Here
are the available GroundSchool test banks:
For the Professional Pilot of the future! One of our best Value
FAA written test prep packages. This is for those really focused on a career in aviation. This package includes
both the Takeoff and FlightLevel Bundles combined.
For the Professional Pilot of the future who also wants to operate in the dynamic Sport Pilot world! Our Best Value
FAA written test prep package. This is for those really focused on a career in aviation but who also love it enough and want the 'future proofing' security of also getting a
Sport Pilot license(s). This package everything from the Takeoff, Sport Pilot, and FlightLevel Bundles combined.
Complete preparation for the three written / knowledge tests (General, Airframe, and Powerplant) that you'll need to take and pass to get
get an FAA A&P certificate. Includes access to all three A&P test banks. Please note: choosing this is the same as choosing a "pick 3"
bundle above and then selecting the mechanic tests from there.
This is for purchasing the Military Competence test banks (Military Competence Airplane and Helicopter - MCA and MCH and/or Military Competence Instructor (MCI)) only. Purchase this option if you are a military pilot wishing to obtain your FAA civilian commercial pilot and/or flight instructor certificate(s) on the basis of your military experience. See the Military Competence page for full details.
This is for purchasing the prep for the Fundamentals of Instruction (FOI) test only. This is for people who are sure that they need
ONLY the FOI prep. Most flight and ground instructor candidates should NOT get this, but rather the complete CFI test bank that includes all the flight/ground instructor tests plus the FOI.
To be clear: any purchase that includes
automatically includes
at no extra charge, so that if you selected as a title either as a 'single test bank' or part of the pick 3 bundle, you'd get both CFI and FOI and it would
only count as one test bank. This "FOI only" option here is at a lower price for those who know that they will only ever need FOI.
"Excellent software for a fraction of the All ATP's price! And this time I actually learned the material instead of cramming for a test!! Probably spent about 20-30 hours studying in a 2 week period and scored a 99 on the FEX and was able to relax in comfort of my own home during my self paced study plan. " - RB (FE/ATP)
"...
got a 98% on ATP and 100% on FEX using your software ... "

"I
more or less just memorized the test and got a 100% .. thanks!"-
FW (FE)
"Thank you.... A happy user." - MG (ATP/FE)
"Our
whole squadron used your software and we all passed with high
scores " - AF Lt. BR (FE)

Thanks
for checking out the software! Good luck on your test, and blue
skies!
"I believe that your product is
ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT. I has been a joy to work
with. All the more so due to your very prompt
response to my questions.
I was about to order the
[competitor's product] when I noticed
your product. Because it was downloadable, I
could start practicing right away. And, the
price was right. I’m a 64 year old 1000 hour
private pilot (1963) with instrument rating
(1966) who suddenly decided to get my Commercial
and CFII as a retirement vocation. I don’t learn
as fast as I did 40 years ago. GroundSchool has
been a great learning and practicing tool." -

"I will tell you that I think your
software is a wonderful product and I have
personally recommended it to many students at
[FBO] ground school classes... in fact as a
result of using your program, my wife blew by
the other students in her class! This has been a
tremendous confidence builder for her as she was
somewhat intimidated by the other students (all
male) Kind of fun to watch their faces when she
completes a multiple chapter review in 1/4 of
the time they took. Now, they make comments
during the correction like..." well I had answer
A but [wife's name] has answer B and I'm sure
she has the right answer "
We're having a
great time with your software even I use it to
keep myself fresh... Thanks a bunch, best 30
bucks I ever spent!" -
