Happy Holidays!

December 21, 2024 4:25PM EST

Hello everybody! Just a quick note to wish all of you and your families a joyous and peaceful holiday season.

We again thank those of you who have joined the Dauntless extended family by becoming our users and customers this year, and also again thank those of you who have been with us for longer. This has been an exciting year for us - we've accomplished much (though, as these things tend to go, never as much as we would have liked) and are excited about the year that awaits us after we return from our holiday hiatus (though fear not: our helpdesk and support services are still working more or less as usual over the holidays as our team has a rolling schedule of monitoring it remotely).

We especially thank those of you who have directed others to our website and products over the years--we hope to repay your trust by continuous improvement and upgrade of our products. Those of you who have been following us for a while know that we don't engage in flashy advertising - we spend our time making quality, reasonably priced stuff.

By the way - if you've put off studying for your written test or computerizing your pilot logbook, now might be a good time to start!

Happy holidays to all!

Cold Outside? Sunny results!

Dear Dauntless,
I love this software! My score was 98 on the real test. Wanting to expedite my progress I just kept testing on GroundSchool until I got at least 95 in four or five consecutive tries and then took the test and it was a breeze. Thanks for the best software!

Hmm - a great score on the knowledge test AND you get to be out in Florida while the rest of us shiver in other parts of the country? Ah, life is good! Congratulations DH on a superb score and for taking the time to write to us. The rest of us will just have to take comfort in the fact that aircraft perform better when the air is colder (since the air is more dense), that is, if we can get the engines started.

A great score on the IFR written

I just wanted to compliment you on a great product at a reasonable price. I had been using a free test prep for the Instrument written, but I just couldn't break out of the 70s. I purchased this product and in three days, I went from the 70s to getting 85% - 95% on my practice exams. I got an 88 on the real thing. What I like about this product is how it explains why an answer is wrong, reinforcing your understanding of the material...and at a fair price. Thank you for producing this series.

Sometimes our users write us things that sound like ad copy. We didn't write this ourselves, really!

We'd like to congratulate RD while noting that he brings up an interesting point. Those "free" websites are only "free" if your time is worth nothing. Most were put up in a weekend by somebody who inappropriately copied a bunch of questions from our software or a book. They are NOT regularly updated (the two "major" ones that we know of have questions dating back over 8 years!), are usually missing MANY questions, and certainly don't have the professionally written explanations and other content that we do. Additionally, they're clunky and time consuming to use. Really - if you don't like our software, fine, buy a book or something, but it seems like an unwise economy to try to rely on such outdated sites.

A Great Result from an anonymous user!

December 16, 2024 7:59AM EST

We received a bit of anonymous feedback from a user today, though it's a wonder he/she remained so modest with auch a wonderful result as this! We're not sure whether this person used the PC, Mac, iPhone/iPad, or Android version of our FAA knowledge test prep. All the same, we congratulate this person on a job superbly done and glad we could play a small part in their success!

I took the Private Pilot written and received a 98% (missed one question). This program was the only thing I truly used to study with, although I did scan other sources to insure that there was not missing material in this program-there wasn't. Of all the other sources I checked out, this was by far the most user friendly in its setup.
I studied the test by studying each section individually until I could consistently get 100% in it or miss one or two. Basically, go through them and let it tell me what I missed right after answering and then once I finished all the questions, I would go back over the ones I missed one more time. Then repeat.
I honestly have no clue how many hours I've spent on this program but I know that it took going through each section "test" 5-10 times depending on its difficulty before I had mastered the section.
I breezed through the actual test, it took me 10-15 minutes tops, and that was only because I forced myself to slow down so as not to make careless errors.

Great Score on the IFR Written!

I received a 92 percent on the IFR Written exam. The explanations provided in your course really help to solidify my knowledge of the test questions and the material. I recommend to people about to take the written test to print out the dauntless version of the test document so that they are familiar with all sections while they are taking the exam.

95 on the commercial written!

I studied one month using only the dauntless commercial pilot app and got a 93 on my actual test. Well worth what I paid for the app. I will be using this software for my CFI knowledge test.

More great feedback from a new Private Pilot!

Excellent program! This was the only study material I used besides the actual FAR/AIM and charts for references. Ended up scoring a 97 and feel like the app covered all material needed and alllowed me to study in a very productive way.

Awesome score on the FOI test!

Just wanted to send in a report for future and current users. Passed the FOI exam with 98%! Recognized all the questions on the exam- no surprises! Great job Dauntless!

'Nothing to be Improved'

Your testing format was extremely helpful in the results for my test. I'm now in the process of studying for my airframe written test using your software. I see nothing to be improved in your material.
