  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 Flight Instructor 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.
  6. How much time will it take to complete the course?
    • The Flight Instructor Ground School & Test Prep Course contains approximately 14.5 hours of video lessons.
    • The Flight Instructor Practical Test Course contains approximately 6.5 hours of video.
    • Each pilot skills course vary in running time from 34 minutes to 134 minutes. On average, each course is approximately an hour.

    King Schools courses are self-paced so completion time will vary from person to person. Some folks spend a full week to complete the course and others will take longer depending upon how much time they have allocated for their studies. If you have 10-15 minutes of time, you can complete a course lesson.
  7. What if I have a question? Is there a CFI available?
    If you still have a question about your course, you can call us during our normal business hours at 800-854-1001 or +1 858 541-2200.

Unedited Customer Reviews
Very Thorough
I have used several online ground schools for the various certifications that I've been privileged to obtain -- Private Pilot ASEL, Instrument, AMEL and Commercial Multi-engine in the past 5 years. Of all the online courses; King has been the most thorough. I really appreciate the explanations in the videos of 'why' things are what they are. I was 50, when I had my first discovery flight. Some of my instructors have been younger than my oldest son. Those instructors were all good at instructing, but many times they could not tell me 'why' in their instruction. They were simply parroting what they had been taught and not fully understanding reason 'why', themselves. Understanding 'the why' is so much better than just memorizing an answer or response to a question. I really liked the King flight instructor course and plan to use King again in my next certification endeavor.

I’ve got 100% on my FOI text
I used King’s school for my private, instrument and CFI(haven’t finished it yet). I never got anything below 90 but today I’ve got 100% on my written test. All of it despite the fact that English is my second language.

Thanks for the great course
