Description

King Schools is a school that has been focused on helping pilots learn the knowledge portion of their flight, safety and equipment training. John and Martha have really been all in with the aviation community trying to drive the skills that will make pilots safer.

John and Martha founded the King Schools more than 4 and a half decades ago back in 1975 (Actually that was the year I was born). They started by giving ground schools while traveling to different cities and then moved into video production. Their usage of green screen technology was revolutionary and frankly these videos from 30 years ago can still be an inspiration to those of us involved in online training today.

Their flight instruction video’s have grown incredibly over that time and they now have self-study courses that cover pretty much all of the ratings and certificates you would likely be looking for. They have grown to more than 50 employees from their headquarters in Montgomery Field which is near San Diego California and they have their own in house digital studio.

All of this has made John and Martha two of the most recognized flight instructors in the world and for what it’s worth, it was their video series that I personally used to pass my Private, Instrument and Commercial knowledge tests. It’s also what I plan to use to help with my CFI this year.
