KING courses are up-to date with the latest information and subjects areas the FAA wants you to know. KING online courses contain FAA-style questions which are representative of all the subject areas the FAA tests.

Warning: You can’t just memorize test questions and expect to pass the FAA A&P Written Test. 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 pass the required tests, there is no shortcut. Syudents must acquire the necessary A&P knowledge.

The recommended course order is 1. General, 2. Airframe and 3. Powerplant.
