I am pleased to report that I passed my FAA rotorcraft private written with a 97%, thanks to your software. Now, I am getting ready for the private checkride, and will be cruising right through to commercial and CFI with instrument rating.

SimPlates keeps rolling on..

August 28, 2026 8:47AM EST

Here's some feedback we recently got from a happy SimPlates customer:

It was a toss up between [Dauntless] SimPlates and the [Jeppesen] SimCharts … I'm glad I chouse SimPlates as with the add ons! There are a lot charts included and It's worked out cheaper too. If I had bought SimCharts, I would have only been able to unlock 1 or 2 regions and it would have cost me over £100 (US $185) to unlock all 6 to cover the amount SimPlates does. I have also noticed that most of the charts are more up to date then SimCharts .. My mate has SimCharts and we have been comparing them. Thanks again!

Great Score on the Private Written!

Just giving you some feedback... Using your software I passed my test with 95%!. At first I was quite disappointed with myself. I knew going in my track record for testing in that I tend to overthink questions and second guess myself. I did my best to avoid this and in the end it paid off well as the reason I missed the few questions was specifically because I didn't second guess them and chose the first answer. They were of course trick question I hadn't seen before and probably shouldn't have rushed such easy questions. At any rate everyone I've spoken with thought I did very well and I'm happy! I owe my success to your software! I also found it extremely useful to see my progress by submitting my tests to the online section tracking section of Dauntless. I am now mere practice hours from checkride! Thanks again!

Why use checklists?

We've improved and updated our famous Why Checklists? page. Useful and illustrative for student pilots and instructors, yes, but perhaps especially for experienced pilots!

Found the Dauntless Ground School software invaluable in studying for the IFR rating. Wrote a 97 on the test.

A 97 is an EXCELLENT score on the tough IFR written test! We're glad we could help you out and good luck on that checkride!

This software was absolutely essential to me getting a great score on the CAX, IRA, and FIA exams. I simply could not have done without it.

This is by far the best package I've used for studying for the FAA tests, and your prices are unbeatable. I'll definitely be recommending it to others.

Aviation Mechanic - General test success!

August 19, 2026 6:14PM EST

I scored really highly on my General test!
This program with the constant updates helped me tremendously. I have the FAA books, but they did not help me at all.
You cannot beat this program for studying and passing your A&P test.
Now I'm studying the Airframe portion.
