YES! GroundSchool features the ACTUAL QUESTIONS (current for 2010 - 2011 and continuously updated) that you will see when you go to take your FAA written exam.

With a minimum of time and cost, YOU can ACE your FAA Flight Instructor / Fundamentals of Instruction knowledge (written) test using our GroundSchool Software. (Free Trial! Download Below.)

This single download will help you prepare for any or all of the following tests:
	FIA - Flight Instructor Airplane			FIG - Flight Instructor Glider
	AFA - Flight Instructor Airplane (added rating)			AFG - Flight Instructor Glider (added rating)
	BGI - Ground Instructor Basic			AGI - Ground Instructor Advanced
	FRG - Flight Instructor Rotorcraft Gyroplane			FRH - Flight Instructor Rotorcraft Helicopter
	GFA - Flight Instructor Rotorcraft Gyroplane (added rating)			HFA - Flight Instructor Rotorcraft Helicopter (added rating)
	FOI - Fundamentals of Instruction**			MCI - Military Competence Flight Instructor ***

** FOI Fundamentals of Instruction test prep is included as part of the Flight / Ground Instructor test bank here. As such, most flight / ground instructor candidates should purchase the Flight/Ground Instructor version of GroundSchool as it will contain both the FOI prep and the specific instructor test (such as "Flight Instructor Airplane") that you will need to take. However, some people under some quite specific circumstances (such as certain FAA employees) might need to prep for the FOI only and have no intention of ever taking one of the other flight instructor tests in the future - for you, we have a Fundamentals of Instruction-only version of GroundSchool.

"I took the test after working with your software and the K*** Schools CFI/FOI course. Your course was the most economical to use for the practice tests versus K*** Schools. I studied at a slow pace for 3 months then accelerated the practice and review one month prior to the written. Your course was great for getting familiar with the computerized testing scheme that CATS employs. I scored 99% on my FI/A and 100% on my FOI written tests. I believe I spent about and hour and a half on the FI/A test and only 35 minutes on the FOI. I plan on using your software for any future ratings or certificates. Thank you." - FM (CFI/FOI)

"100%!" - PM (Comm/CFI)

"Passed ... Fundamentals of Instruction ... only one question wrong ... only 2.5 hours of study" - AA (CFI/FOI)

"Test score was 97%. Software was highly helpful." - JW (CFI)

"Only missed one on the FOI (my fault!) The software was a big help!" - DH (CFI/FOI)

"I will recommend your software to my students .." - DF (PVT/IFR/Comm/CFI)

"The new explanations are a great help... I ended up getting a 100%." - LR (IFR/Comm/CFI)

"Got a 98 on the test. This a tremendous tool for anyone preparing for an FAA Knowledge Test. I will recommend it to all my students." - JP, CFI
