Product reviews for Private Pilot Written & Checkride Combo

K

This course is a must for anyone preparing for the FAA Knowledge test.

I am already a private pilot as of a few months ago, but I am now completing the practical course for private pilots. I think Kings has done a great job of sharing the experience of an actual private pilot checkride. The reason I've decided to do the course now is for the purpose of review. I've not been PIC for a couple months and wanted to get myself a bit more familiarized before I hop back into the cockpit. I like that a standard, frequently used aircraft (C172) was selected as the aircraft for John's checkride. He also does a good job of "thinking out loud," which is something I found extremely helpful during my instruction days. John King's checkride demonstrated a very accurate picture of what a student pilot can expect on their own examination day. I found myself having flashbacks of my own checkride the whole way through this course. It was totally realistic, and was full of teaching-type feedback at all points of the course!

Covered all situations in good detail.

Outstanding online course. Gives you a full idea of what to expect on your check ride.

Engaging videos with just the right amount of detail!

Instructors are very thorough and knowledgable, and present the information quite well. My only (minor) complaint is that some of the web interaction can be a little bit old fashioned, but that doesn't detract from the content at all.

Thank you for providing such good information in a great format.  I have just started communicating with ground control, tower and approach, but have felt like I am not doing it correctly.  After watching all the videos, I can't wait to try again.

Pretty cool site

Proper communication will be one of the more daunting aspects of regaining my currency.  I do have the comfort of knowing that I was able to master it long ago, so I'm sure I'll be able to master it again.
