About
MockDPE is AI flight training software that simulates FAA instrument rating oral exams through scenario-based questioning. The platform integrates live METAR and TAF data from aviationweather.gov with real data from over 16,000 US airports to create dynamic scenarios replicating an FAA IFR checkride. Responses are evaluated against FAA Instrument Rating Airman Certification Standards, covering areas like preflight preparation, ATC procedures, navigation, and emergencies. Choose your examiner persona, upload a checkride gouge, customize your aircraft, route of flight, and scenario, then dive into the questions. After each session, detailed debriefings identify knowledge gaps and guide study efforts, helping pilots focus preparation on specific areas needing improvement.
Fact Sheet
Discussion
When I bomb a question, does the debrief point me to the ACS section to reread? That's my study plan right there.
Building scenarios from live METAR and TAF data and real airports is what makes an oral exam practice feel close to a real checkride. Grading against the Airman Certification Standards and pointing out the gaps afterwards gives pilots a clear idea of what to study next.
