Evening all-
While I wait for the planets to align between weather, kids soccer games and CFI schedule, I am going to kick off my ground school. It has been one thing after another getting the ice broken for flight #1. I am optimistic that the schedules will iron out and we will get off the ground. We were grounded on the first flight. We walked the plane, discussed a lot of stuff and during the pre-flight we found the stall horn was not functioning. Since then the wind has just been too much. We are now scheduled for Wednesday.
While I wait, I am going to kick off my ground school. I have read a lot of reviews and threads about choosing a ground school course and usually the response is "it depends on how you like to learn (book / video)." I am somewhere in the middle but it would seem video with supplement text will fit nicely. So, there are a lot of options on the board but I am curious to know what some recent written exam test takers studied with and felt they prepared you well for the knowledge test and beyond.
The options as I see them -
o MZeroA - $102 a month
o Gold Seal - $129
o King Schools = $279 / $398
o Gleim = $100
o ASA = $179
o Sporty’s = $379
o Jeppesen = $239
I like MZeroA cross platform, technology speaking, side of things but it's pricey compared to the rest. Gleim appears to be bare bones and to the point. King schools has the goofy humor (I can't deal with that).
So which course has the best coverage and decent format? What did you like about the course or dislike?
