"I scored 100% on my private pilot written—now 97% on my instrument. I think your courses are great for both. I recommend them to everyone."
William White, Champaign, IL

A "must" for every pilot—regardless of your experience.
If you´ve scared someone you care about while they were flying with you, you already know they will remember it forever.

Bite-Sized Segments for Fast, Fun Learning. Your Computer-based Interactive Video™ course is arranged into eight bite-sized segments, starting with video and followed by interactive questions to test and reinforce your understanding.

85% of General Aviation Accidents Can Be Prevented ... Including Yours! This course will teach you the procedures and techniques that you need to manage aviation risks effectively.
If you are like most pilots, flying an airplane is about as good as it gets ... fun, exhilarating, challenging and even empowering ... but as you know, there are risks in flying. You can never completely eliminate the risks, but in a little over 1 hour, King Schools´ innovative, Computer-based Interactive Video™ Practical Risk Management training course will teach you the procedures and techniques that you need to manage aviation risks effectively. You´ll be able to assess and manage risks confidently ... leading to safer flying and more fun in the cockpit.
The Practical Risk Management Series of courses has changed the way thousands of pilots manage their flight risks, and according to our partner, Avemco Insurance, has made a significant reduction in aviation accidents. We recommend that every pilot start with the benchmark course, Practical Risk Management For Pilots.
Turn stress into confidence and safety! With the skills you´ll learn from Practical Risk Management For Single-Pilot IFR, you´ll be able to fly single-pilot IFR safely, expertly and confidently while fitting in with the system—even at unfamiliar, busy airports.
If you have flown single-pilot IFR you already know that it is the toughest job in aviation. There is no co-pilot to share the load or help trap errors ... you even have to act as cabin flight attendant for your passengers.
Since, unlike airline pilots, you don’t have a dispatcher, you have to do all the pre-flight planning on your own and make sure your airplane is properly fueled and ready to go.
"The course made me confident and reduced my single-pilot ´sweats´. Great job and it change my IFR planning."
C. Goldstein, Denver, CO
With Practical Risk Management For Single-Pilot IFR you’ll receive the tools to fly a piston-powered aircraft single-pilot IFR on trips, with less stress and strain, and with far better risk management.
After you take this course you will understand that flying single-pilot IFR is not about physical skill. It is about workload management—and that means using your time wisely. You will learn to use your resources to reduce your workload so that you have time to manage the big picture. When you have mastered this, you will be rewarded with a deeply satisfying experience—flying single-pilot IFR competently and safely.
With Practical Risk Management For Weather, you´ll know what to do when weather takes a turn. It´s about understanding your options...and recognizing them quickly so you can make the right decisions, in a timely manner.
Make the right weather decisions quickly and with confidence. Weather-related accidents cause, by far, the highest level of fatalities in general aviation. This course is about managing the risks associated with weather and its constantly changing reality.
Weather flying—VFR or IFR—places the greatest demands on a pilot. More than any other risk factor in flight, changing weather frequently requires pilots to alter their plans. And weather especially requires proactive, rather than reactive, risk management.
"Very informative and very well done! After flying for 36 years I still learned a lot!"
James R. Torley, Colorado Springs, CO
Weather is unforgiving. It can kill you and the people you love. And, the sad...truly tragic fact is that every weather-related accident could have been avoided...every single one!
If you´re like most pilots, weather decisions are not always easy. Should I go?...What if the weather changes?...How will I know if the weather changes?...What are the risks?...are common questions that many pilots have difficulty answering.
With Practical Risk Management For Weather, you´ll know what to do when weather takes a turn. It´s about understanding your options...and recognizing them quickly so you can make the right decisions, in a timely manner.
Learn how to manage risk...every time! 50% of all accidents occur during takeoffs and landings. That´s because these critical phases of flight require not only physical skill, but also superior decision-making risk management that´s frequently overlooked during typical flight training.
"This course is the best investment I ever made...it probably saved me from losing my insurance, my license and most important, injuring people. Thank you King Schools."
J. Robarts, New York City, NY
Consistently good, safe takeoffs and landings are the result of preparation! The first step in making critical decisions is learning to manage risks. Next is the consistency and steadiness that comes from informed confidence.
Using this highly interactive course, you´ll find out how to make the right decisions with every takeoff and landing. You´ll learn the industry-lauded PAVE and CARE method for managing risks inherent in takeoffs and landings, and you´ll actually practice your perceptual skills with realistic scenario-based questions.
Practical Risk Management For Takeoffs and Landings will teach you how to apply superior decision-making and perceptual skills with every takeoff and every landing. When you think of it...your life and the lives of the people you love depend on it!
Learn how to turn fear and anxiety into productive participation and fun! If you´re like many pilots, then you remember the excitement of taking your spouse, significant other, or close friend flying only to have them clearly dislike the experience and in many cases swear never to fly again. Now...for the first time...there´s a course that can help you turn this fear and anxiety into productive participation and fun!
Because pilots and passengers often see flying differently, what thrills one can often be very stressful to the other. And ... even passengers who enjoy flying at first can develop a strong dislike for flying if they feel that things are out of their control.
"Superb course—got us flying as a couple! Thank you!"
B. Feuer, Greenwich, CT
This innovative, interactive course lets passengers and their pilots work together to create meaningful pre-flight and in-flight roles that lead to shared enjoyment and roles in the risk management of the flight.
When you´ve completed the course, you´ll see flying through each other´s eyes and you´ll know how to take a joint path to productive participation. You will have learned risk-management skills and gained communication tools that will increase your confidence. The passenger will become engaged as the pilot shares control—and both of you will gain immense satisfaction that will make your flying fun!
