Pilot Institute ground school review

This winter, I completed the ground school portion of the process for getting my Private Pilot Certificate. There are many options out there for ground schools and, luckily, these days we have the option to complete the course entirely online. I decided to go with Pilot Institute because of their glowing reviews, affordable price, and ability to watch the lessons offline. Once I decided to use Pilot Institute, I reached out to them to see if they’d like to work together. They gifted me the course in exchange for me sharing my honest opinion and experience online with you all. They also provided us with a discount code for you all to use!

If you’re ready to start ground school, I highly recommend Pilot Institute. Greg has devoted many many hours to make this course what it was and it shows. He is easy to understand, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. In fact, I kind of want him to teach me how to fly!

Check out the video and I hope it’s helpful for anyone getting ready to choose a ground school.

I’ve also linked to products that I bought to help me prepare for the exam (and many of these will also carry over to the flying portion of the process).
