Flight Training

Great courses, intuitive well designed app, broken into ground training and flight training so it’s very helpful for both!

I passed my ppl and am starting instrumental and this course helped me a lot

Fair warning my cfii was great and recommended this ground school above all others and i did a lot of ground with him for my ppl but this ground school is definitely my favorite study aid or backup to an actual cfii in person
