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.

the idea of using live weather data in training sounds super helpful, but how realistic are the scenarios?

pretty cool idea, but what’s the underlying architecture? curious about how it handles real-time data integration for those scenarios.

mockdpe uses real weather but where are the airline oral depth stacks?
