King Schools review
A broad FAA exam-prep catalog with offline study, practice exams, and lifetime access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
King Schools provides online ground school and FAA exam preparation for student pilots, licensed pilots, flight instructors, aviation maintenance technicians, and drone operators. Its catalog covers Part 107, private pilot, instrument, commercial, CFI, FOI, CFII, and other aviation exams. Courses combine video lessons, FAA-style questions with explanations, flashcards, randomized practice exams, progress tracking, and an aviation reference library. Study is available through a browser and companion apps on iOS and Android, with offline lesson access for mobile study.
Pricing is structured primarily as one-time course purchases rather than subscriptions. The Part 107 Drone Pilot Ground School & Test Prep course costs $129 and includes lifetime access and automatic updates. Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot, CFI, and CFII courses cost $299 each, while the FOI course costs $199. Paid courses add the relevant ground school, test-preparation content, and companion apps; the test-prep app requires enrollment in a qualifying paid King Schools course. A 30-day refund period is available.
The strongest fit is for learners who want exam-specific coverage across multiple FAA certificates and a mix of structured lessons and repeated practice. Search across questions by topic or phrase, performance reports, flashcards, and automatic course updates support ongoing review, while web and mobile access fit flexible study routines. Support is offered by email and phone. Pilots seeking a single-purpose, free study tool or 24/7 support should look elsewhere; King Schools is better suited to buyers who want a paid course with lifetime access and a broad aviation-training catalog.
