4. Are the courses current?
   
   Your online course is always current and kept up-to-date. Courses are automatically updated with the latest information, rules and regulations the FAA wants you to know.
    
   KING Interactive Video Ground School and Test Prep courses contain FAA-style questions which are representative of all the subject areas on the FAA tests.
    
   Warning: You can’t just memorize test questions and expect to pass your FAA Commercial Pilot 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 be a safe and competent pilot-in-command, and to pass your required tests, there is no shortcut. You must acquire the necessary pilot knowledge.
5. What do I study first?
   
   First view the "Your Success Begins Here" video on how to use the course effectively and gain insight to the features and benefits of the course. If you scroll down past the video, you will find an outline with additional tips and information. Once you start the course, just follow the path from start to finish; it's that easy. Of course you can skip around if you chose but we recommend staying on the lesson path.
    
   The advantage of having a home study course is you can repeat any lesson over and over again. You can always call or send us feedback about concepts or questions for further clarification.

   King Schools Commercial Pilot Ground School & Test Prep Course contains a text question explanation icon that contains a thorough explanation of the test questions. Click on the icon when you are in the question review that follows each lesson segment and you will have a pop-up window containing a thorough explanation of the test question.
   
8. How Long Does It Take to Become a Commercial Pilot?
   
   First, a distinction: A Commercial Pilot is someone who has the qualifications to earn money while flying. However, when someone hears Commercial Pilot, they often assume an airline pilot flying for a major air carrier. Acquiring your Commercial Pilot Certificate and experience needed for a first pilot job will take a year or two after becoming Private Pilot. Getting hired by an Airline would then take an additional couple of years. Airlines require another higher level of certification called an Airline Transport Rating which normally requires a minimum of 1500 flight hours to achieve, and building those hours takes time. The good news is that once you have your Commercial Pilot Certificate, you can earn money as a pilot while gaining the needed flight time.
9. How do I access my course completion certificate?
   
   Once you have completed all the lessons and answered all the questions in each lesson, you´ll be able to print out your completion certificate. Click on the Course Complete icon on the main menu to print your completion certificate.
10. Can I still access the course material after I complete the course?
    
    You have lifetime access to your Online Commercial Pilot Ground School & Test Prep Course. Remember, with the online media, the course is also automatically updated and will always be current.
11. How do I receive my endorsement to take the FAA Knowledge Test?
    
    Once you complete the three practice exams with a score of 70% or higher, you can print out your endorsement.
12. Where do I take my FAA Knowledge test?
    
    Check the PSI Exams website at https://faa.psiexams.com/FAA/login to find a testing location near you.
13. How do I find a FAA Medical Examiner to schedule my physical?
    

    Check the FAA.gov website at http://www.faa.gov/pilots/amelocator/ to find an examiner. You need pass your physical before you can solo.
