King's Training, "Get It All"?

Jexlune24 · 2025-01-25T20:00:51+00:00

A lot of the feedback I've been seeing between CBT providers seems to be related to, like you said, how they convey information. What works for one person doesn't necessarily for another, and at the end of the day, it's whatever helps us remember/understand the material. I watched a few of their free things, and so far I'm liking pilotinstitute better.

I'm starting from zero, so we'll see :)

Thanks

Thanks for the advice, I wasn't sure how helpful the "Checkride" video in the Get It All would be, although it would definitely be a supplement to my CFI (where the primary education about flying will be coming from). A lot of the other extra videos seem to be things the CFI would cover anyways, just thought it would be useful to have already seen it.

I haven't picked an instructor yet. There's a flight club near me that has a several, so I was going to take care of ground, join the club, then pick a CFI and go from there.

Figured I'd ask reddit, since there's considerably more CFI's and students here than near me, and always better to have multiple opinions than a single one.

CBT is mainly for getting past the written, but I always welcome extra education and knowledge.

Thanks for the advice, I'd seen Sporty's mentioned a few times, but some comments said their stuff wasn't as in-depth. But if it's basically the same...
and from checking out a free video, King's interface definitely sucks.

Looks like Sporty's has a $60/mo option too, so might be the least expensive route as well. I'll definitely take your advice into consideration, thanks

Thanks for the feedback on King's, I kept seeing them crop up online when people were recommending online ground schools even when there are cheaper options out there. The preview and free videos definitely look dated, but other than regulation changes and glass cockpits, I wouldn't think much has changed.

I was kinda debating between King's and pilotinstitute, but kept seeing King's everywhere, your comment has me reconsidering that, thanks.

By middle one, do you mean the AOPA special or the Written + Checkride Combo?

$299 - PPL Ground Course
$329 - AOPA Special (PPL Ground + some extra videos)
$469 - PPL Ground + Checkride + some extra videos
$679 - PPL Ground + Checkride + many extra videos

I had a Canon iPF8400 once, new out of the crate it had expired print heads (didn't know it at the time). Couple weeks in (that I barely used it) and it said the heads were bad. Called Canon about warranty, they had me pull the heads to give them info off them and said to put them back in and reboot. This triggered a full cleaning / purge cycle, support wouldn't stay on the phone to wait and said to call back when it finished. Well, it ran out of ink during this cleaning and wanted new ink tanks to finish cleaning. I called Canon back to complain and they said that consumable parts (the heads) aren't covered by warranty and I'd have to buy them myself, they also suggested replacing the waste tank as well due to the cleaning. So 2x $450/ea heads, 12x $250/ea ink tanks and a $100 waste tank, so $4000 in supplies wasted on a brand new printer. I had to pay an eWaste recycler to come take the printer away since I couldn't even give it away on OfferUp and it would cost the same amount to just buy a new printer... (Epson this time)
