Portland Oregon Private Pilot Ground School

Looking for a Portland Oregon Private Pilot Ground School? Look no further.

We've partnered with Rod Machado, one of the world's most well-known flight instructors, to offer an interactive online private pilot ground school!  The advantages of this ground school are numerous:

• You will be socially distanced - no need for masks! Rapidly changing laws about social gatherings due to COVID make signing up for a classroom-based ground school a gamble because you never know when a new law will prohibit such gatherings in Portland Oregon, smack dab in the middle of your private pilot training. No need to worry about that with this course.
• Learn at your own pace, anytime of day or night, from anywhere in the world (not just Portland!), and re-visit topics that are still troubling you.
• 40+ hours of Interactive video lessons covering everything from aircraft systems to weather to regulations, and everything in between. 
• Receive your FAA written knowledge test endorsement upon completion! This is an endorsement that is required in order for you to take the written knowledge test. This course will provide you with the endorsement.
• The course currently includes complimentary downloads of 4 of Rod Machado's Private Pilot ebooks​

This highly animated, interactive eLearning course is one of the most comprehensive, private pilot ground training programs on the market today. Its 26-course modules span 40-hours of highly educational, fun and interactive aviation ground training. The depth of material covered in this course is what you'd find in your traditional single-semester, college aviation ground school, at a fraction of the cost. 
​
Included at the end of each lesson are FAA-like knowledge questions to reinforce what you've learned. Compared to nearly every course I have tried, this is the most fun and enjoyable course to study. No more reading dry, stale, study material when you can learn in an enjoyable, interactive manner. At the end of this course, you'll be provided with a graduation certificate and endorsement to take the private pilot knowledge exam.

Here is the real kicker, and why this particular course is recommended: Most ground school courses focus solely on preparing you to pass the written knowledge exam only, similar to those SAT or ACT-prep courses used by high school students to pass a standardized test. The knowledge you gain from most other ground school courses is is to be applied to answering a 60-question multiple choice test, but its not very practical or usable knowledge. Rod's course is different: he provides an all-encompassing, fully comprehensive ground school that will not only prepare you to pass the written knowledge test, but it will help you LEARN material that you will actually use in the cockpit. This can replace, or at least minimize those expensive, $50 per hour ground sessions with your CFI, saving you money that you can then use to actually fly.
