  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 Interactive Video Ground School and Test Prep 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 Commercial Pilot - Helicopter 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?
    First, select the "Click HERE to Start" menu icon on your Commercial Pilot - Helicopter Ground School & Test Prep Course home screen. From there, you will learn how to use the course effectively with and gain insight to the features and benefits of the course. Just follow the path from start to finish; it's that easy. Of course you can skip around if you chose but we recommend staying on the lesson path.
     
    Some lessons may be more challenging than others, but one of the many advantages of having a home study course is you can repeat any lesson over and over again.
  6. How much time will it take to complete the course?
    The Commercial Pilot - Helicopter Ground School & Test Prep Course contains approximately 8.35 hours of video lessons.
     
    King Schools courses are self-paced so completion time will vary from person to person. Some folks spend a full week to complete the course and others will take longer depending upon how much time they have allocated for their studies. If you have 10-15 minutes of time, you can complete a course lesson.
  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 anytime. Sometimes, you may want to review a video segment a couple of times.
     
    King Schools Commercial Pilot - Helicopter Ground School & Test Prep Course contains a text question explanation icon that contains a thorough explanation of the test questions. Click on the icon when you are in the question review that follows each lesson segment and you will have a pop-up window containing a thorough explanation of the test question.
  8. How Much do Helicopter Pilots Make?
    The average Helicopter Pilot makes $72,224/year*. This is a January 2022 average in the Unites States, however, so we recommend you look at your local job postings to get a more accurate figure. Piloting jobs generally start out at low salaries that increase substantially with experience and flight hours.
