MockDPE

# MockDPE | AI-Powered FAA Instrument Rating Checkride Simulator MockDPE is the first AI-powered FAA Instrument Rating checkride simulator built specifically for instrument rating applicants, CFIIs, and current instrument pilots preparing for their Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC). The platform reproduces the oral portion of the FAA practical test with a conversational AI examiner that questions, probes, and evaluates candidates exactly the way a real Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) does on checkride day. --- ## What Is MockDPE MockDPE delivers a full AI Designated Pilot Examiner experience grounded entirely in the official FAA Instrument Rating Airman Certification Standards (ACS). The AI examiner generates scenarios from real airports, real aircraft, and live weather data, then evaluates every response against the specific ACS task being tested. Knowledge gaps, weak areas, and the exact regulations or procedures an applicant should review are flagged after each exchange, with direct references to the relevant FARs and AIM guidance. Instrument pilots and students can run sessions in multiple formats. A full mock checkride walks through the oral examination from start to finish. Focused practice targets a single ACS Area of Operation. A quick diagnostic identifies the most critical gaps. A guided lesson mode brings in an AI instructor to work through concepts in depth. --- ## Realistic Instrument Rating Oral Exam Scenarios Built from Real Aviation Data MockDPE scenario generation pulls from a database of thousands of US airports, approach plates, navaids, and aircraft performance data. Pilots choose from multiple DPE personas with varying levels of strictness, so practice sessions can mirror anything from a methodical regional examiner to a highly rigorous standards-focused DPE. Every exchange is scored, logged, and converted into a personalized study plan. Applicants walk into their real checkride knowing exactly where they stand and what still needs work. --- ## Unlimited Instrument Rating Checkride Prep for a Flat Monthly Subscription A traditional mock oral with a CFII can cost several hundred dollars and requires scheduling weeks in advance for a single round of feedback. MockDPE delivers unlimited, on-demand instrument rating oral exam practice for a flat monthly subscription. That makes high-quality checkride prep accessible to every instrument student, not just those with the time and budget to book repeated sessions. --- ## Proven Grading Accuracy and Independent CFII Validation MockDPE AI examiners achieve **96.3% grading consistency** across hundreds of training iterations and have been independently validated by working CFIIs. That level of consistency means applicants receive reliable, standards-aligned feedback every single time they sit down to practice. --- ## Built to Do One Thing Right MockDPE will expand to support exam prep for other FAA certificates and ratings in the future. Getting there matters, but it was incredibly important to the MockDPE team to do one thing well before doing many things in mediocrity. Instrument rating prep is that one thing, and we built it the right way. Questions, comments, or just want to chat?
