Product reviews for Private Pilot Online Ground School & Test Prep

This was a wonderfully clear, funny, and accessible course. This course feels as if it a relic from a bygone era, the 70s? or 90s perhaps?...which is wonderful. It reminds me of planes I fly, filled with old equipment and scratched up paint. And after taking the FAA written exam, I am a believer. This is not only one of the most effective ways to prepare for the exam, it is also one of the easiest.

Just watch all the videos and then go over the questions again. It definitely worked for me!

This program was good for learning information. The only issue I had with it was that it was hard to stay interested in it. The instructors put a lot of cheesy jokes that just make it take longer. I could have done without it and would have liked to see it sped up a bit. Other than that the content is great.

I don't know how to say it enough, but thank you Martha and John. The way you deliver your instruction made my learning experience so pleasant. All my questions were answered without a person in sight. The ease of navigation throughout the website and course was just the cherry on top. There is so much more that I can say but thanks to  you I have to go fly. Again, Thank you for providing this for all of us aspiring Pilots.

I passed my written test with ease after studying mainly on the convenient king schools companion app, I had zero experience or knowledge with aviation but the well laid out lesson plan and videos with detailed explanations and animations made it easy. I’m glad I chose this path now I will definitely use more of the available courses for the rest of my journey into aviation.

While the pace is sometimes slow, the knowledge in the videos is quite good and always presented in a manner that is easy to understand.

Great Program. It goes through all the questions that could be on the written, and gives excellent memory aids to help remember them when it becomes test time.

This was a quick and easy way to get my ground knowledge for my private pilot

These lessons and the way they are set up is awesome. Love the questions after the videos which helps you retain the knowledge.  Passed my private written easily using King Schools.

As much as this was recommended from my CFI, I was disappointed with the organization and professionalism of the content.  I felt the videos were tacky and many of the questions didn’t necessarily prepare to understand the concepts but to just regurgitate information from the video.  I wish the questions were a little more randomly generated so that I could critically think and understand the concepts better rather trying to find the right answer in the video.Also, the video chronology does not match wit their printed syllabus, which my CFI used in concurrence for in flight lessons. So i had to go back and redo sections. I felt that my time and efficiency was wasted.So the app and website is too clunky for the amount of money I paid.As much as John and Martha deserve respect for what they’ve created, this course may be suited more for the younger learner.  I would not recommend if you’re the type of person that needs more structure and a professional tone.  I will not be using King Schools curriculum for my instrument, commercial, and multi engine.  I had only finished my PPL ground school with Kings because that is what my CFI used and he couldn’t recommend any other alternative curriculums because he hadn’t used them.  As costly as flight training can be I don’t feel that I really got my money’s worth with this program.
