Product reviews for Instrument Rating Ground School & Test Prep

It was fantastic going into my IFR Airplane test with the simple knowledge, that "Good Luck" was not necessary, I was WELL prepared. I have done both my Private and IFR with the tutoring of the King Schools. I have tested extremely well on both. I simply do not know how the best intentioned CFI or CFII could prepare someone to the level that is achieved with the courses provided here. While the course has done a great job of presenting the information as it is seen on the FAA exams, more importantly, the information is presented in a way that teaches the concepts, not just the answers.

I have used Gleim, Jeppessen, and King Schools training programs in the past. King Schools is by far the best. While their videos can be cheesy at times, they do an excellent job of breaking down the material in easily understood, bite size chunks that you can easily work your way through. The test prep is exceptional and I was able to pass my exam on the first try. I highly recommend their course work for any level.

I have used king schools for both my PPL ( 2 years ago ) and now my instrument.   I went into both tests confident and knowing I would pass the test.   I used each exclusively and got the majority of my knowledge solely off these videos.   I would most definitely use them again.  Thanks John and Martha.

I tried many different programs for PPL and IFR.The King Videos are my favorite, it is explained in a way that I just get.

Yes, I studied my butt off, but this course gave me the 99% of the information, and the framework to do it.  I really did enjoy this course.  Here's how I approached studying.  I went through the videos, AND took notes.  I occasionally supplemented with more internet research (mostly just because I was interested).  I then studied my notes and went back and re-watched a few video segments.  I took two of three required mock FAA tests as part of the course (three required for King sign-off to take FAA exam).  Then it happened.  Life got in the way, and I completely stopped for almost 2 years.  So, I went through the whole course again (parts had been updated).  I updated my notes as I went through it.  It was great review, and I definitely understood much more the second time. I restudied my notes and then took the 3 tests required to get King sign off.  Then as final review before FAA exam, I went back and re-answered all the questions that I had EVER missed (easy to get these) - did that until I understood them.  This course really did help me prepare, so much so, that I just bought the King Instrument Rating Practical Test Course.  Yes, I took the Instrument written before starting on the flying - I'm 1000% sure this knowledge will help me.Oh!!!  ONE IMPORTANT TIP - you can get a plugin for your browser that lets you speed up and slow down the videos (e.g., "Video Speed Controller" for chrome).  This is gold, especially for re-watching parts.  Hope that helps.

The King Instrument Rating Ground School was an excellent aid in preparing for the written exam!!

Thorough prep that makes sure you actually understand the source material, and don't just memorize answers to the test. The knowledge in this course will help you ace the instrument written exam, and give you instrument knowledge that carries through to the rest of your aviation career.

Kings was easily a 5/5 for my private pilot. That being said, there was a lot of information in Instrument Training that I feel could have been condensed to shorter videos. There were often videos that took too long to get to the subject matter. That being said, kings will not fail you and you will pass using kings. It is just very lengthy compared to other sources I have used.

Course was extremely thorough and logical in formatting.  I recently took another course from another company as I did my private there, it was severely lacking compared to King.  I actually had more questions than answers when I completed it. The King course is by far superior and I have no questions gone unanswered. I feel well prepared for the written. Excellent job King!

I really enjoyed the lessons. I have the original 3.5" disk when I took the PP ground school in 1994. I have been out of flying for the past 20 years and decided to get back in the sky. After getting my BFR I decided to get serious and get my Instrument rating. Great new format with the online learning. Very thorough with all the new regulations, wow have things changed. Just finished the FAA Knowledge Test and all went well. Thanks again for all your help. Now i'm on the practical side then Multi and commercial. A big congratulations on the Hall Of Fame induction!
