- Well, I know King video's were discussed in detail a while back, so I tried
- to go back, but none of th news server I can get to seems to have those
- kept. Sorry about this, but back then, I wasn't interested in them, but
- now I am. :(
-
- I recievered this promo video and bunch of flyers from King the other day.
- I tried watching the promo tape and it seems pretty good. Here is the
- deal I am looking at:
-
- $169 Private Pilot Course
- comes with:
- free video "Takeoff's and Landing Made Easy"
- free computerized Exam Review ($39 dollar value)
-
- $59 Private Pilot flight test course
- (looks helpful and interesting)
-
- order these two and also get:
- 4 free "take-off" videos which some looks interesting
-
- and also a entry to win a Mooney MSE
- (yeah right, like I'll win :)
-
- so for all this for $228.
-
- this seems to sound good, and the promo video seems good enough to be
- understandable.
-
- Now here is my question:
-
- (1) if price was not a factor at all, which is the best (ie, give me the
- most ground school "education"):
-
- (a) a ground school that progresses the same time as your actual
- flight time, ie teaches you ground school stuff as you go along
- in your actualy training. This is what's offered at Flight
- Simulation at SQL.
-
- (b) totally separate flight school somewhere else.
-
- (c) the king videos
-
- (2) if price IS a factor, which is the best deal? Considering the money
- I'll be spending and the education I will be getting.
-
- I don't want to be cheap and compramise education and this safety. So
- I am a little reluctant about learning off of bunch of videos for ground
- school...what if I have a question?!? (I know, post it here! :)
-
- Im really sorry I didn't read all the discussion earlier, but... :(
