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

Study

Get app to study and take the test

Very good

This is a very good tool to prep for the ppl

Great App!

I found this app through recommendation from watching YouTube videos about flying as I prepared to start. It has been invaluable! The lessons are clear and short enough that you can jump in and do one or 2 even if you have limited time. But they are comprehensive enough to cover everything. I love how they keep updating and improving things. I have been impressed with how often the content is enhanced. I was able to study for my written well and passed the first time. I’m currently doing the reviews in preparation for my check ride.
