King Schools

King Schools is an aviation education company that produces pilot training videos, software and online courses. Founded in 1974 by John and Martha King, it helps student pilots prepare for FAA exams, checkrides and practical flying. Its training materials cover private pilot certification, instructor training, airline pilot preparation and other aviation subjects. The company has provided aviation education for more than 50 years.

Private Pilot Training Courses

King Schools offers several courses for people learning to fly.

The Complete Private Pilot Course covers the FAA Written Test, Practical Test and flight maneuvers. The Practical Test is also known as the checkride.

Students can use these materials while preparing for their private pilot certification.

The Private Pilot Deluxe Kit includes additional training beyond the main course.

It provides 14 extra courses covering subjects such as radio communications, weather, navigation, airspace, airport signs and night flying.

These subjects are part of the knowledge student pilots need during training.

King Schools presents the lessons through video-based instruction and computer software.

Aviation Training for Different Pilot Levels

King Schools provides training beyond the private pilot stage.

Its course selection includes Airline Transport Pilot exam preparation, career pilot training and turbine or jet pilot certification courses.

The company also offers airplane flight instructor certification training.

Its Cleared for Multi-Engine Instructing course is available for flight schools to provide to students.

Other products include drone pilot training and pilot skills courses.

This range allows pilots to continue using King Schools materials as they move through different stages of aviation training.

Online Learning and Study Materials

King Schools courses are designed for pilots studying at home or alongside practical flight training.

The company's mobile-friendly training allows students to study offline when an internet connection is unavailable.

Course owners receive continued access without membership fees or subscriptions.

King Schools also updates its courses to reflect FAA standards.

Students can access a Cessna Reference Library containing more than 80 aviation books, guides, websites and FAA circulars.

The company has delivered more than 700,000 video-based knowledge courses, along with millions of shorter training videos.

King Schools and Flight Schools

King Schools began when John and Martha travelled around the country teaching ground school classes.

About a decade later, they started producing video courses from their home.

The company now provides training materials that flight schools can use with students.

Its Flight School Partner Program supports the use of King Schools courses in flight training organisations.

The Cleared For integrated training courses also allow scenarios to be adapted to local flight training environments.

For student pilots and aviation fans, King Schools provides a way to understand aviation subjects before and during flight training. Its courses cover the knowledge needed for private pilot certification and further aviation qualifications.
