What people are saying:

"Today I achieved a dream of many years: I became a Private Pilot. There are a number of people I need to thank for their support, and that certainly includes Aviation Supplies and Academics, Inc. Your Private Pilot Prepware was excellent and was one of the key resources I used in preparing for my written and oral exams. I scored a 95 on my written, and my oral exam also went extremely well. I just wanted to thank you for a great product and great after-purchase support. Thanks, again, for helping me achieve a life goal." —Curtis M. Wall, McDonough, Georgia

"I used the Private Pilot Prepware ’08 to review for my written exam. As a college professor, I wouldn’t allow myself to memorize any of the questions. I worked through all the questions several times to become familiar with the testing format and studied the material that I missed or didn’t understand. Everything was by self-study and was reinforced by reading several instructional texts. I took the test yesterday and scored 100%. I currently only have 7 hours of lessons in my log book, but I wanted to get the written out of the way. This software allowed me to work through the material efficiently and effectively and was quite easy to use. Highly recommended!" —Timothy Steele, Ph.D., Des Moines, Iowa

Prepware 2010 features include:

• Compatible with both PC and Macintosh systems.
• CX-2 electronic flight computer is built into the program, accessed by a click of a button during study sessions or simulated tests.
• Make and save user notes while studying in a Notes field, for annotations and comments as you work.
• “Google”-like search capabilities…search for a word or phrase in the entire database of questions, answers, and explanations.
• Includes a comprehensive and searchable glossary.
• Shuffle the answer stems for a true test of your knowledge.
• Build a follow-up quiz from your airman test report. The FAA doesn’t tell you which questions were wrong on your test—they only give you the subject matter knowledge codes. You can plug the codes into the program to create a custom post-test follow-up, which is required prior to taking your checkride.
• Simulates the CATS testing center in screen layout, buttons, program navigation; replicates what you'll see when you take your official FAA exam.
• You can choose to print results, or e-mail them to your ground or flight instructor to obtain endorsement to take the FAA test.
• Built-in study guides are there at a click of a button for study sessions, with the same comprehensive text and figures found in ASA’s popular Test Preps and Fast-Track Test Guides.
• Performance history reflects individual tests, not just cumulative performance. View a performance graph depicting total score and a score for each subject, as well as review the test (shows your selected answer, the correct answer and explanation).
• All figures are available onscreen.
• Export quizzes in Respondus text format for Blackboard compatibility.
• Download and automatically update the database each time the FAA releases new or changed questions; also, the free email subscription service keeps you informed anytime a change is made.
• Prepware School provides the ability to track performance history for multiple students and issue custom quizzes to the whole class.

Realistic test simulation, study and review models, detailed performance graphs, comprehensive study guides and built-in timers give you the confidence you need to ace your FAA exam. Whether you choose to simulate an actual FAA test, or study specific subjects and questions, Prepware has the tools you need.

Also included is the instructor utility, QuizMaker, to generate pop quizzes or exams using actual FAA questions. Quizzes can be of any length and on any specific or combination of subjects or subject matter knowledge codes. You can print exams, student answer sheets, and instructor master correction keys for quick grading, or save the tests so your students can take these electronically.

ASA’s Prepware combines all the information applicants will find in the Test Prep Series. Prepware gives you everything you need to be confident and prepared for your FAA Knowledge Exams.
