Don’t just memorize…actually learn. A two-part study guide plus a combined volume, animated lessons, 411 flashcards and 645 questions. Plain English for new pilots, with every rule cited to the FAR/AIM.
Built the same way as our A&P kits: study guides, flashcards and practice quizzes that follow one another, chapter by chapter, plus short animated lessons for the hard parts.
17 chapters: Part 1, The Airplane and the Rules; Part 2, Flight Planning and Decisions; plus the same material as one complete volume. Over 100 illustrations. PDF and EPUB.
About a minute each: stalls, spins, load factor, airspace, weather and the sectional chart. Captions on screen, no audio needed.
16 chapter decks, 515 practice questions and a 130-question mock. Three choices each, like the FAA test, and every answer explained.
Rules and numbers are checked against the FAR/AIM at ecfr.gov and the FAA handbooks.
The FAA path to a Private Pilot certificate under 14 CFR part 61, and where this kit fits. Your instructor signs you off at each step.
Minimums from 14 CFR part 61 and the FAA Airman Knowledge Testing Matrix (Sept 25, 2026). Training under part 141 has its own hour minimums.
Original questions written from public FAA material, so you learn the concept, not a memorized answer.
Short, captioned animations for the topics that are hard to picture, and full-color figures on almost every page.
The lessons are animated in code. Aircraft, cloud, runway and scenery images in the videos and figures are AI-generated illustrations, made for teaching; they are not photographs and not exact depictions of any aircraft. Instruments are drawn in code. The sectional chart excerpts are FAA charts (public domain), not for navigation.
Part 1: The Airplane and the Rules (Chapters 1 to 8). Part 2: Flight Planning and Decisions (Chapters 9 to 17). The same 17 chapters also come as one combined Study Guide.
The combined Study Guide has the same 17 chapters in one volume.

I’m Simon, an Air Force pilot with 17 years of military flying experience, including a decade teaching Air Force flight training in the T-38C. Although most of my flight time is in military aircraft, my flying journey began as a private pilot.
I created these programs because I’m passionate about aviation and want to recruit aspiring pilots into the exciting world of aviation.
Whether you want to fly for recreation or as a career, I’ve helped hundreds of pilots earn their wings, so I know what it takes to succeed.
If you’re interested in getting your private pilot’s license and taking flight, I want to help you make that dream a reality.
Hit the books and I’ll see you up there!
