Online Ground School

Online aviation ground school offers numerous benefits for aspiring pilots. It provides flexible learning options, allowing students to study at their own pace and on their own schedule. In these programs, you'll learn essential topics such as aerodynamics, navigation, meteorology, and regulations, all crucial for a successful flying career. Additionally, the interactive online format includes multimedia resources and quizzes, enhancing your understanding and retention of the material. What you learn in the ground school course will get you ready for the FAA written exam.

I have experience with two of these online ground schools; Sporty's and MzeroA. Both of these are very capable of setting you up for success. I personally used Sporty's more because the platform is just very good. If you're considering doing accelerated training, both of these platforms offer monthly/annual subscriptions that give you access to all of their courses. You can save quite a bit of money by doing this rather than paying a couple hundred dollars for every rating. MzeroA is also very well known as a ground school and Jason Schappert's videos on YouTube are among the best you'll find on aviation subjects. Depending on the subscription you purchase with them, they offer access to weekly live coaching seminars and a passed checkride guarantee.

For Written Test Prep, there is no better resource than Sheppard Air. It is the most complete study material on the market to ace your written exams. The only downside is that it's not available for private pilot, but for every other written (instrument, commercial, flight instructor, flight instructor - instrument, advanced ground instructor, instrument ground instructor), you'll get identical questions that will show up on the written and their study methodology is well tested. I scored higher on every written exam (lowest score was a 92) than my Sheppard Air practice exam score. Plus, it's very affordable!
