Why take this course?

Join the most popular Private Pilot test prep course on Udemy today. Bestseller, highest-rated, taught by the Number 1 aviation instructor on Udemy. Still not convinced? Go read the reviews.

This course series is designed to give you the necessary ground knowledge to pass the FAA Private Pilot Airplane (PAR) Knowledge Test. I specifically designed this material to be comprehensive and not just an overview. I will go IN DETAIL about each of the knowledge areas and provide explanations to not only pass the test, but also become a proficient pilot. Anybody can pass the test by memorizing the question bank, but that's NOT what this course is about.

The fifth part of this five-part series goes over Airspace, Charts, Navigation, Flight Computer & Cross-Country Planning. I included links to the free FAA publications as well as over 100 practice questions. This course follows the guidance of the Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) under Part 61. You should definitely start flight training while taking this course.

Over 150 hours went into preparing the slides, and recording/editing this course, I hope you will find it valuable and helpful towards your training.

The other courses are:

Part 1: Introduction to Flight Training, Aircraft Structure, Aircraft Systems, Flight Instruments.
Part 2: Basic Aerodynamics, Aerodynamic Forces, Weight & Balance, Performance and Limitations.
Part 3: Regulation, Inspections & Documents, Aeromedical Factors, Aeronautical Decision Making.
Part 4: Weather Theory, Weather Services, Airport Operations, Radio Communications.
Optional Part 6, available by private message ONLY: Receive a paper written endorsement from the instructor to take the FAA test (requires enrollment in all 5 parts + proof that you are proficient with the knowledge).

The ability to take the course at my own pace and during the hours I have available has been incredibly helpful. Also the ability to go back and rewatch/re-learn material as many times as I need to is a nice feature. I plan to continue to use the course throughout my time flying.

What I enjoy most is how every section is segmented, allowing for easy reference of specific parts in the course. This organized structure helps me save time and focus on my weaker areas of study. The instructor is easy to understand, providing one of the easiest to follow Private Pilot courses available.

Great course, just like the other 4 parts! My personal goal for this series was to see if i have what it takes to become a commercial pilot. And this 5 parts course answered it very well - it's not all that complicated, but you have to learn and remember a lot of things. So thanks a lot to Greg!

Proud to say I completed all five parts of this series. Part 5 was particularly enjoyable because of Greg's excitement about the content. Seriously, I spent six hours on the Cross-Country Planning section, and even though it was a lot to take in, it never felt uninteresting because of Greg's knowledge, teaching skills, and little jokes that he made here and there. Can't wait to continue on to Part 6 and hopefully get my endorsement. The one thing I will say is that I'm surprised Chapter 16 of the PHAK wasn't required reading for this part. I went ahead and read it anyway before I started Section 4, and I must say it really helped understand some of the wind factors a little better. I'd recommend others doing the same.

Ive determined much info in these course from people with knowledge and understanding of aviation and piloting do great with the Udemy. Furthermore I can review and reference the Udemy curricula for a small expense and its great too.

Took all 5 parts of this course. Did all of the quizes and the two practice exams at the end of part 5. I also followed up with the ASA question study book I got for $20 on Amazon. Total ground school prep for under $100. I took my PP written test today and got 100%. Answered 61 out of 60 questions correct. Yes, 61, for some reason my test was assigned 61 questions. I was told that was random. Anyhow, both my instructor and the exam proctor were very surprised, they rarely see that. This course definitely works and I highly recommend it.
