Fundamentals of Instruction?
Yes! This software will prepare you for the FAA Fundamentals of Insruction (FoI) exam that is required of most flight and ground instructor candidates. You do not need to buy this software 'twice' if you want to study for the FOI and another test, for example, the FIA Flight Instructor Airplane. Rather, you can switch through the included tests as often and as much as you'd like.

Military Competence Instructor?
Yes! This software will prepare you for the MCI military competence instructor test that is required to convert US military flight instructing experience into FAA instructor ratings. What you need to do is select the MCI test within the software and then go to take the test. For details on this test, please visit our website.

Good luck on your test!

Ratings and reviews

I have used quite a few FAA test prep apps and programs in my journey from student pilot to multi engine CFI. Most programs look like they were designed in 1995 and are intended to run on dialup. Dauntless isn't perfect, but at least it feels more modern. It's not great on a phone, opens slow and charts are tedious. But if I were to start over, I'd only use Dauntless (on a tablet), it's far better than the other programs. Used for three FAA tests, passed all three on the first attempt. Worth it.

Great learning tool. I have this particular setup on a 10 inch Samsung Tab A and works perfectly. I also have Dauntless study aids on my computer so I can spread out some of the information of 'why is my answer correct or not'. This app has done a great job of showing you exactly what source it has pulled from and then educate you more on the subject, not just the answer. I will be purchasing their ATP product when my CFI training is complete.

I have used Dauntless prep software for Private, Commercial, Instrument, and CFI. Using the Stacks concept and segregating the questions I know from the ones I have trouble with made my studying and prep much more efficient. I am now using it to help my students prepare for their Knowledge tests. Worth more than the cost. And my actual test results mimic my results in the software. If you are running at 95% in the software, then you will get about 95% on the real tests. AND it no longer crashes...solid tool.
