Product reviews for Flight Instructor Practical Test (PTS Checkride) Prep - King Classic

Always a pleasure learning with John. Great overview on what to expect during the CFI practical exam. Would love to see some things updated as so more recent content could spruce the interest level. But always a happy customer as I continue in my hopeful a

Very good stuff.

Good course, good pointers and prep for the checkride. This is a good companion while working towards your CFI

Wish it went in depth on regulations and instructor endorsements and Airspace’s. Well worth the money, I’m so glad I bought it!

John and Martha are the greatest!  They make learning fun. Thank you.

Course was good.

I have used the king instructional video series all the way from the private pilot level, they are great and allow you to walk into the test feeling prepared. Study hard and get comfortable teaching!Chris

The video was produced in 1994 and it's now 2020 as I write this. The checkride oral exam seemed light on the fundamentals of instruction.  There were times when the scene would cut away to a "later-version" of John (several years later, but in the same shirt in front of a blue screen depicting the hangar space used for the oral exam) expounding upon an answer given to the DPE.  John seemed to revert into teaching mode instead of CFI applicant mode which made for a VERY distracting segment as if the viewer wouldn't notice the change.  I didn't appreciate the production trying to "fix" a shortfall in the original video and gives weight to the need of updating the entire experience.  The flight portions seemed to flow well, but it would have been nice to see a few more maneuvers than the basic minimum.  If you've watched the commercial check ride with Martha, this will be a step down in production quality, completeness and recency.

The course breaks it down into the key components, and is explicit in its description of those key components that should be included in the discussion of all of the requisite topics.

good video and explanations. Would like to see review guides to use when watching video
