  4. Are the courses current?
    KING courses are up-to date with the latest information and subjects areas the FAA wants you to know. KING Interactive Video Ground School and Test Prep courses contain FAA-style questions which are representative of all the subject areas the FAA tests.
     
    Warning: You can’t just memorize test questions and expect to pass your FAA Instrument Rating - Helicopter Written Test. Why? The FAA used to make their test question banks publicly available; however, they have not done so for many years. In fact, the FAA has recently gone through their entire database and changed every single test question and answer in order to eliminate test question memorization. No one, including test prep educators, has access to the FAA question banks. To be a safe and competent pilot-in-command, and to pass your required tests, there is no shortcut. You must acquire the necessary pilot knowledge.
     
    Online Course Media - Your online course is always up-to-date as the course is automatically updated whenever changes occur.
  5. Is there a particular order to follow? Are some lessons easier than others?

Of course you can skip around if you chose but we recommend staying on the lesson path.
     
    Some lessons may be more challenging than others, but one of the many advantages of having a home study course is you can repeat any lesson over and over again.
  6. How much time will it take to complete the course?
    The Instrument Rating - Helicopter Ground School & Test Prep Course contains approximately 17 hours of video lessons.
     
    King Schools courses are self-paced so completion time will vary from person to person. Some folks spend a full week to complete the course and others will take longer depending upon how much time they have allocated for their studies. If you have 10-15 minutes of time, you can complete a course lesson.
  7. What if I have a question? Is there a CFI available?
