Are the courses current?

KING courses are up-to date with the latest information and subjects areas 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 the FAA tests.

Warning: You can’t just memorize test questions and expect to pass your FAA Instrument Rating - Helicopter 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.

Online Course Media - Your online course is always up-to-date as the course is automatically updated whenever changes occur.
Is there a particular order to follow? Are some lessons easier than others?

First, select the "Click HERE to Start" menu icon on your Instrument Rating - Helicopter Ground School & Test Prep Course home screen. From there, you will learn how to use the course effectively with and gain insight to the features and benefits of 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.

Some lessons may be more challenging than others, but one of the many advantages of having a home study course is you can repeat any lesson over and over again.
How much time will it take to complete the course?

The Instrument Rating - Helicopter Ground School & Test Prep Course contains approximately 17 hours of video lessons.

Course Completion Review

This course is 90% airplane related procedures which was misleading from the time of purchase. I learned a lot from the course but it becomes confusing when learning how to read the IFR charts through 90% of the course and the last section then changes to how to read helicopter minimums etc. I understand Airplane and Helicopter procedures may go hand in hand but I feel this did a disservice to me by being overly focused on airplanes even though I purchased a helicopter course. The helicopter portion of the course was extremely outdated, blurry, and felt like it was just thrown into the Airplane instrument course as a secondary thought. I highly recommend updating this course to the current era / 21st century. PLEASE! So disappointed....
