Product reviews for Private Pilot Practical Test (Checkride) Prep

Great.

Passed my private pilot checkride just yesterday and received lots of positive comments from my DPE.  I give the King course great credit for my success by demonstrating a very realistic new-ACS practical test.  The goal of the FAA here is to explore your fund of knowledge through scenarios and questions in a more conversational testing manner.  As my DPE said at the outset - I want to understand your thought processes ... as well as your fund of knowledge. (He noticed I made a 97 on the knowledge test -  and that my endorsement was from King Schools.  i caught a slight smile).   The same approach in the air - show me by what you say and do that you are a safe and thinking pilot with good skills.  It was good to know that I wasn't expected to be, as John frequently says, a "Super Pilot".  No question both these courses gave me the fundamental knowledge and the proper mind-set to breeze through both the knowledge and practical tests. Yesterday I passed my check ride and had a great time with great preparation and a great DPE - this afternoon I'm ordering my King Schools Instrument course!  I'm sold.

I enjoyed the format and am looking forward to getting in the skies!

Take your time and study. Write notes and rewrite them, even for the practical course. You'll ace it. I was asked about minimum equipment lists during my practical. It's covered briefly in Kings Schools, but it was important. So, study King Schools thoroughly to do your best. I recommend this program.

Before I watched this course I didn't know what to expect on my Private Pilot Check ride. This course really helped put my mind at ease and realize I was more prepared than I thought! I'm feeling much more ready for my check ride this Saturday!!

Nice refresher to prepare for the check ride. Mr. King as always does a nice and humble job of bringing topics to a easy to understand level.

Hi, I just wanted to say this was an amazing take on the Checkride. I learned different ways risk management can may you actually think about it.

I really like being able to review certain parts I know that need work.  I've flown all of the requirements with my instructor but its really great to be "flying" as somebody else is at the controls and talking you through it so you can pay attention without the distraction of actually doing it.

Another outstanding course!  Definitely worth the money and time invested in it. I know this will be instrumental in my passing the oral and practical part of the private pilot exam.

This was a great help for my checkride.
