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.

Wow
One word brilliant
ok app
While the app works okay, it’s not as polished as some others. I went through a couple of the trainings and worked through some of the questions and study guide that are good but not the best I have seen. I have been listening to the podcast which is what led me to the app but I think the pricing is quite high for what it is- perhaps if it were a one time charge for lifetime at $300ish but yearly is just too much. Living in Grass Valley must be very expensive.

Instrument ground school review (1st session)
First time for me as CFI to peruse Jason’s training and I am very impressed with the ease and relaxed atmosphere Jason has accomplished with this app! Most refreshing and I plan to have my instrument students work through each of these. The learn more button and the imbedded references are seamless and much quicker than I can get the book out and find the info!

Great app for ground and flight, used for my ppl, working on IFR now
I really liked the app my local CFI recommended it (he had a coupon for a couple percentage point off full price). It really helped with getting my knowledge test endorsement (via the app). I used it for ground school and my locaL CFI could answer questions as they came up weekly when I was flying Before solo.
I ended up missing the following questions on my written: pa.i.ak2, pa.i.i.e.k1 pa.i.f.k2e, pa.ii.d.k1, pa.bi.c.kw, pa.vii.bk2, pa.xi.a.k1.
The only improvements I could ask for overall would be a a section strictly on aircraft logbooks , engine logbooks, and AD addressing section . My DPE hit airworthiness of aircraft hard with log books as well. I felt under prepared, but was able to come back. The flight portion was not problematic at all and I think the DPE seemed happy with my performance.
(I passed first time so he wasn’t “unhappy” lol)

The Best PPL Ground School
I used TFP ground school for my PPL written test prep and scored a 95% first try!
Excellent app, excellent content, excellent test prep, and fantastic flight training videos that are quick and actually teach you what you need to know.
For different reasons I ended up used 3 different ground schools across my PPL training and I found TFP to be best! Also, TFP has a fantastic customer support team! 5-stars.

Hands down — the best ground school
Thank you for all you’ve done to make ground school accessible. I successfully completed my PPL checkride yesterday!
As I had expected going in, I found the oral portion a lot less stressful than the flying part. Not that the flying was BAD, but your app left me very prepared. The DPE acknowledged as much, admitting he “dug pretty deep” on the oral to find my limits. This is in no way a brag, but an acknowledgement of the best ground-based flight training resource out there.

I’m learning so much!
This method of learning is great for me. I tend to be easily distracted or get really tired when studying. There is just the right amount of personal interaction to keep my attention and keep me progressing.
Transparent and easily to understand!
The videos makes feel like I’m in a personal tutoring lesson.
Simply the Best!
Jason Miller and his fabulous team put together THE BEST ground school app. They vetted the material and tested and then did more after that!
We are lucky to have a Jason Miller, a teacher through and through that cares deeply about us understanding because the better we understand the better decisions we make, which makes us safer pilots and a safer aviation community.

Excellent!!
I got a great score on my FAA written exam and this app was a huge help! The practice test are very accurate the entire layout of the app is fantastic and I’m still using it to stay sharp and continue studying. Highly recommend!
Great app for Rusty Pilots too
Good mix of video and textbook style instruction.
You can pick and choose what wear and when to study

Great Content, frustrating limitations.
This app has been a very useful tool throughout my aviation journey. The information it provides is clearly created with care and grounded in solid research. There are dozens of helpful videos and references to the kinds of documents you’ll use throughout your training, and overall the content is excellent.
What frustrates me, however, are the limitations. First, I’ve noticed syncing issues between my iPhone and iPad, which makes it difficult to study unless I’m in a situation where using the iPad makes sense. Many times I’d prefer to use my iPhone, but I can’t get it to sync my progress from the iPad.
Another limitation is the lack of a desktop version. When I’m at home on my computer and would prefer to review material there, it simply isn’t an option.
I also wish the flashcard and spaced-repetition system were more robust—specifically, the ability to review all content across the app, not just material tied to a particular section or module.
Finally, I wish there were more interactive opportunities to be tested on using sectionals. As a new student pilot, understanding and applying chart information—even within ForeFlight—has been one of my biggest challenges. Although some quiz questions touch on this, they feel very surface-level. I’d ultimately like to see more depth and more content in this area.

Money well Spent!
I had King School before this, for IFR ground. It was brutal! I was bored out of my mind. Some video lessons, I would play it at 1.5x speed.
This is not that. This is entertaining (it’s like watching another YouTube video), and I find that I retain the knowledge a lot better. Thank you!

Phenomenal Program
Absolutely love this ground school. It is definitely worth the cost (actually a really good deal for the amount of detail and time put into it). And I love that he made it free for CFIs. Such an awesome tool to be able to take advantage of especially when just starting to instruct. Highly recommend!!

Almost no videos, do not rely for test
I’m a big fan of Jason’s videos and all the great content he puts out on YouTube. However, I was extremely disappointed with this course. The course is mostly written and has almost no videos, which is why I would imagine most people would buy a course from a YouTuber. The app is great, works great on my iPad, however, the content is mostly text and asks you to read the PHAK. Additionally, the very little videos it does have, are very informal, don’t really use any visuals and at times are borderline unprofessional with Jason just talking from his RV while chewing gum. I’ve also done Kings, and I can say that’s a proper ground school. It’s exhaustive, every single section has videos, and felt very confident to take a test after taking Kings. Just wish Kings had a modern app like Ground School. Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed with this app, specially for being one (if not) the most expensive ground school that also uses a subscription model. DO NOT rely on this app to pass your test. You will fail.

Mediocre At Best
This a good app for private pilot training however substandard for instruments. Also the questions are old and a lot of time do not match the supplement, this app also has errors with sync between iPad and iPhone.
Takeoff Briefing
Love what you’ve provided. May I offer my version of the TO brief? All of what you’ve said (ID the runway, windsock, performance distances)
From brake release to rotation I will reject for anything, throttle idle, stop the airplane, clear the runway if able, run any appropriate checklist. Notify the tower.
From rotation to the safe altitude (CAPS) for the airplane I’m flying with an engine failure I will pitch to the best glide picture and land more or less straight ahead. I will land wings level on speed. With any other problem (smoke, alternator failure, etc) I will fly a normal pattern to the runway I just departed.
Above the safe altitude with an engine failure I’ll make the best decision. (We brief CAPS options and a cross runway return) (We practice the impossible turn, so in the right conditions it is an option)
It’s a little more, but it gets us up to a safe altitude for starters.
