    Warning: You can’t just memorize test questions and expect to pass your FAA Helicopter FAA Flight Instructor and FOI Written Tests. Why? The FAA used to make their test question banks publicly available; however, they have not done so for many years. In fact, the FAA has recently gone through their entire database and changed every single test question and answer in order to eliminate test question memorization. No one, including test prep educators, has access to the FAA question banks. To be a safe and competent pilot-in-command, and to pass your required tests, there is no shortcut. You must acquire the necessary pilot knowledge.

Unedited Customer Reviews
Easy to progress through
I really enjoyed the speed of the course.  The only thing I would change, would be to have a way to play the audio only, like an audio book.  I often listen to things while driving and it would really help if I could listen to this without having to click through all the menus.

Outdated and not complete
Material is outdated. Seemed like there were too many questions on the actual exam that weren't adequately covered buy the training material and practice exams. I was consistently scoring 92-94 on the practice exams and was surprised to attain only an 84 on the real exam.
