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.

The Gateway to Professionalism ...

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).

This single download will help you prepare for any or all of the following tests:
	CAX - Commercial Pilot Airplane			CGX - Commercial Pilot Helicopter
	CBG - Commercial Pilot Balloon - Gas			CBH - Commercial Pilot Balloon - Hot Air
