New King Schools resources for flight schools, instructors

King Schools has also rounded out its Cessna Flight Training System, which is available to all flight schools, with a course for the instrument instructor rating. When added to the private, instrument, commercial, and flight instructor courses, this course allows a school to offer a professional pilot FAA Part 141 program.

The Cleared for Instrument Instructing course can also be purchased separately for $374.

King Schools also created a Flight Instructor Program to allow CFIs, whether with a school or independent, to track their students’ progress through the King Schools ground school courses. Instructors who participate in the program will gain access to King Schools courses from the private through flight instructor level so that they can see exactly what their students are learning and work through the ground school together.

Flight schools and instructors can use a new free online course, Your First Flying Lesson, to introduce prospective student pilots to flying. The video walks through a flight lesson from San Diego, California, to Catalina Island just off the coast for lunch at the Airport in the Sky.

King Schools founders John and Martha King also released a new book, LIFT: How to start, run and grow your own successful business, to share lessons they have learned in launching and growing their own business that has trained tens of thousands of pilots since 1979.
