"Instrument flying is trusting vision beyond sight." – Martha King
 
You planned a great trip to an exciting destination—but travel day turned up overcast and drizzly. You canceled because of weather, again—if only you had your Instrument rating.
 
Now, Cessna Pilot Centers make it easier to accomplish that challenging goal, with a comprehensive program that is rewarding—and downright fun!
 
Once you obtain your Instrument Rating, you'll be a safer, more competent pilot. Unexpected clouds will become less daunting, and you'll enjoy flying more—even in VFR!
 
You'll have earned the right to pierce the clouds, to bask in the glorious sunshine hidden from those you left below. And you'll think... "Why didn't I do this sooner?"
 
The Cessna Instrument Rating training includes multi-media lessons, followed by fun, interactive questions. You'll have access to flight-preview videos for both G1000 and analog equipped aircraft—plus a complete FAA knowledge exam review program—and it's available anywhere you have Internet access. Your personal login will maintain a record of which sessions you have completed and will allow you to continue where you left off if you are interrupted. The course never expires and it's always kept up-to-date, so you'll have access to all of the in-depth knowledge sessions and flight previews well after you have completed your training.
 
You can take your Cessna Instrument Rating course on your iPad or iPhone—even when offline! The Cessna Instrument Rating course lessons can be downloaded onto your iPad or iPhone and viewed later when online or offline, with the Cessna Companion App. New - Access the FAA Test Prep, Reference Library, Flight Training Progress, Cessna Facebook Page & Submit Technical or Course Feedback without having to log in! The app is available through the Apple App Store by searching for "Cessna Companion", or click this link. For more information about King's Cessna Companion apps Click Here
 
You now have a new tool to achieve a score you can be proud of on your next FAA Knowledge Test. The KING Flashcard Companion App is a free download from the Apple App Store or Google Play app store and is designed to put the final polish on your test preparation. Read more about the King Flash Card App here.
 
One great feature of this course is the ability to watch each task you will perform with stunning in-flight video before you show up for your lesson. Your video instructor will walk you through everything you need to know to immediately feel comfortable in the airplane. We call these Flight Previews.

  1. Is this course right for me?
    This course is a part of the Cessna Flight Training System. It works best if you are training at a Cessna Pilot Center and you flight instructor is using the included course syllabus. It will prepare you for your FAA Instrument Rating knowledge test and also includes video demonstrations of each instrument rating flight maneuver, allowing you to show up fully prepared for your lessons.
  2. What are the system requirements for this course?
    Online course media requires a PC or Mac computer with a broadband Internet connection.
  3. Can I use my smartphone to view the course materials?
    Your course is compatible with the web browser on your Apple or Android device. In addition, the free Cessna Companion app allows you to view your online course(s) on an iPad or iPhone when not connected to the Internet. The free app is available through the iTunes App Store by searching for "Cessna Companion."
  4. Are the courses current?
    KING courses are up-to date with the latest information and subjects areas the FAA wants you to know. KING online courses contain FAA-style questions which are representative of all the subject areas the FAA tests.
    Warning: You can’t just memorize test questions and expect to pass your FAA Instrument Written Test. Why? The FAA used to make their test question banks publicly available; however, they have not done so for many years. In fact, the FAA has recently gone through their entire database and changed every single test question and answer in order to eliminate test question memorization. No one, including test prep educators, has access to the FAA question banks. To be a safe and competent pilot-in-command, and to pass your required tests, there is no shortcut. You must acquire the necessary pilot knowledge.

    Online Course Media - Your online course is always up-to-date as the course is automatically updated whenever changes occur.

  5. Is there a particular order to follow? Are some lessons easier than others?
    Just follow the phases from start to finish; it´s that easy. Of course you can skip around if you chose but we recommend doing the phases in order.
  6. How much time will it take to complete the course?
    The course contains over 9 hours of video instruction. King Schools courses are self-paced so completion time for each course will vary from person to person.
  7. What if I have a question? Is there a CFI available?
    If you still have a question about your course, you can call us during our normal business hours at 800-854-1001 or +1 858 541-2200. You can also email us at custserv@kingschools.com - We have a full staff of pilots and flight instructors available to answer your questions. Please be aware that it may take 24-48 hours to respond to an email so please call us if you need immediate attention.
    Of course, when you take a King Schools course, it is like having a flight instructor with you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can review the material as often as you like at any time. Sometimes, you may want to review a video segment a couple of times.
  8. How do I access my course completion certificate?
    Once you have completed all the lessons and answered all the questions in each lesson, you´ll be able to print out your completion certificate.
  9. Can I still access the course material after I complete the course?
    You have lifetime access to your courses. Remember, with the online media, the course is also automatically updated and will always be current.
